Château Bouscassé (Alain Brumont)

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 1990

[80% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon] Leather, forest floor, maybe a little Brett, excellent structure and depth, despite its age, seems like it can easily age another 10-15 years, long, lingering finish, excellent Madiran! — 2 days ago

Les Chenes Vert Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2020

Dark, inky Hermitage Syrah….has that extreme earthiness I don’t love in these northern Rhônes - you get it right on the nose, and then has a slightly acidic/sour after taste - opens up a bit after a few hours — a month ago
