Best one from the bunch I bought some 20 years ago. Dark, mysterious red. Full bodied, powerful. Spice box. Coffee grind, dark chocolate and cherries. Dusty, cacao like tannins. Bold and brazen. — 2 months ago

Hints of rust color. Smells meaty. Flavors are smooth and fine. Has a fine wine style. Very French with a woodsy and berry complexity. This is nice stuff. — 7 months ago

No notes, to go along arguably the best cassoulet in the region. Black fruits on the nose, a bit of leather too. Great acid drive and great width, nice tannins all along and fine tannins that kick in the rear before a nice and delicate finish. Great stuff and pairing made in heaven. — 3 years ago

This 25-year old really is a testament to the power and longevity of Tannat.

A bouquet of stewed blackberries, dried figs, and prunes mingling with tobacco leaf, leather, and hint of barnyard. subtle waft of black dark cocoa as well. On the palate the bold structure remains mostly intact. Bright acidity adds intensity. The finish is long, candied and savory. — 9 months ago

oh yeah baby - at last, well made Madiran at decent price point: inky brooding dark fruit & exotic spice, cocoa, coffee, licorice, layered, sexy full bodied fleshy - lingering finish — 4 months ago

Sturdy and tannic. Not dark nor brooding. Still enough fruit to keep things balanced. I actually kinda missed the usual barn, poop and cattle smell. — 7 months ago

Opened for mom on MM Ben dinner. Inky dark color with earthy nose and weight palate. Would be good with heavier winter meals. — 4 years ago
