Another great and unique white. White flowers, lemon curd, citrus marmalade , balanced acid & voluptuous !! — 10 years ago
From 50+ year old (and even some 150+ year old old pre-phylloxera) vines. A really intriguing wine that needs food. Intense tannins + high acid that find their balance. Aromatic w/ lacquer (helloooo VA, but just enough to add a needed little lift), pepper steak, black plum, violet, cinnamon, paraffin, smoke. All of that plus a lingering exotic spice on the palate. Ideally paired with something rustic and fatty (we settled for lentils). Good winter warmer. — 10 months ago
Et un autre fameux de la cave de B & L pour accompagner la tarte aux prunes et le crumble faits par A. On se regale! — 11 years ago
Madiran is famous for its wines of character, deep and intense, requiring a lot of year of aging. Here it's quite another thing. A wine that honors Tannat, in a greedy cuvée, juicy, "on the fruit" to drink on its youth. Beautiful silky texture in the mouth. Nice winemaking savoir faire. An easy wine, to drink young.
Madiran est réputé pour ses vins de caractère, profond et intense, nécessitant pas mal d’année de garde. Ici c’est tout autre chose. Un vin qui honore le Tannat, dans une cuvée, gourmande, juteuse, « sur le fruit » à boire sur sa jeunesse. Très belle texture soyeuse en bouche. Beau savoir faire de vinification. Un vin facile, à boire jeune. — 2 years ago
This defies description. It's high-octane fuel in need of a decadent dessert. Super sweet with the alcohol firmly in the background. Very interesting example which I hope finds a market, somewhere... — 9 years ago
