Château Montus
XL Madiran Tannat
Madiran, Southwest France, France
The secondary and tertiary notes are on full display at year 25, yet there are still blackberry and raspberry lingering around. It’s rich, powerful, and silky smooth on the palate. Very rustic and savory yet so refined. The tannins are resolved but there is plenty of acidity to hold this for 5-6 more years before its slow descent.
Somewhat reminds me of Musar.

Really excellent. Nice variety for once, like a scrambled top-flight Graves with, well, fiery tannins.
