@Peter van den Besselaar, I agree with @Ira Schwartz that these Madiran from Montus last pretty much forever, I have a few 1995s still in the cellar.

Château Peyros

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 2018

Dense, tannic, medium weight texture, good acidity, a little stony earth and funk. Tastes Italian, but less rustic than that implies. A little on the simple side but tastes good wine for grownups. I imagine it could age a lot. 90. — 2 months ago

Château Bouscassé (Alain Brumont)

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 1990

[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! — a month ago

Château Montus

XL Madiran Tannat 1999

Ming L
9.4

The secondary and tertiary notes are on full display at year 25, yet there are still blackberry and raspberry lingering around. It’s rich, powerful, and silky smooth on the palate. Very rustic and savory yet so refined. The tannins are resolved but there is plenty of acidity to hold this for 5-6 more years before its slow descent.
Somewhat reminds me of Musar.
