Rejält mineraligt och kryddigt. Fylligt och moget men ändå fin syra och en liten bäska som är riktigt trevlig! — 9 years ago

Un des meilleurs vin de Alain Brumont que j'ai dégusté — 11 years ago
[80% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon] definitely some Brett in this one, but not over the top for me, fruit is still fresh, structure suggests this is mature, very good balance and length, long finish. For those highly intolerant of Brett, you probably won’t like this as much as I did. — 6 months ago

Awesome acidity all the way through. Tropical fruit, great balance. — 9 years ago
Slightly oxidized style with apricot in a medium+ body. Paired well with foie gras tourchon. — 11 years ago
My prior experience with Tannat was limited to a bottle of Bodega Garzon, and I was not really a fan. This bottle gives me new perspective about the variety.
A blend of Tannat/CS/CF (60/20/20), it opens with ripe black fruits tinged with peppery spices, dark cocoa, cherry cola, and just hint of barnyard. Velvety palate with surprisingly polished tannins.
My first Madiran. Chateau Bouscassé is the home estate of Alain Brumont who also owns the more famous Chateau Montus. — 3 years ago
Find this to be delightful. Great fruit nose, good mix of red and black fruit. The taste is complex, very fruit forward but with lots of herbs, flowers, and caramel notes. Good acidity, and overall well-balanced. Good linger on the finish. — 9 years ago
What a surprise after the '88 VV! — 11 years ago
