Just like the ‘17 bottling, this is a robust, structured red with deep black fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Started off with light barnyard, the Tannat delivers dense plum and licorice, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon’s cassis and Cabernet Franc’s herbal lift. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity promise another 8-10 years aging potential.
Such a great value!

Birthday /Memorial Day party. Something off the beaten path, and my first Petite Courbu. Round, rich, and delicious with ripe pears and melon. — 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. — 8 years ago

[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! — 5 months ago

Fragrant nose with peach, pineapple, orange peel, lime, honey, and chrysanthemum. Medium to full body. Vibrant and intense, soften by creamy texture which is surprising given that this did not see any oaks. Hint of sweetness but dry. Great winemaking.

Dark purple garnet in the glass. Raspberry and leather on the opulent nose. Medium plus acidity surrounds the palate of raspberry, leather, and cassis. The aggressive tannins of youth have been time-tamed down to an approachable medium (we’re twenty-two years on, after all). Drink up! It’s delicious! Merci, Mssr. Brumont. — 8 years ago
