Rich dark and red fruits, still some evident firm, tannic structure (but I guess cellaring Madiran is like cellaring Dunn Howell Mountain, as life may not be long enough for them to shed their tannins? LOL), long, lingering firm finish, really quite fine!! — a month ago
Was gifted three bottles as part of the crowdfarming project. Opened the first upon arrival out of curiosity. Bottom line, I think it needs more time in the cellar. But! It is a very solid red that I consider having at home at all times. — a month ago
Interesting and full flavored. Green apple, lemon, soft oak, a touch of white pepper and straw. Crisp with a clean finish. — 2 months ago
Licorice. A little cinnamon and vanilla. Not overly dry. Thankfully not a fruit forward type of wine, this has character. Served with rack of lamb and brussel sprouts and it paired very well. — 9 days ago
Vintage 2004 | Fits well in winter, says my wife. I gave her this Madiran without telling its origin and asked to describe it. Amazing how good partners of winelovers often taste. Rich smell, cedar. Forrest in autumn. Tastes well now but can be kept in the cellar. Comforting wine, says my Love. Personally I admire its stubborness. Paired with charcuterie. — a month ago
