20% #cabernetsauvignon 60% #tannat 20% #cabernetfranc . Touch of barnyard funk nose immediately followed by a deep well of cassis, bramble fruit. Higher tension on the palate, robust grippy tannins, as expected. Feels like it needs another 5 years bottle time to fully integrate. #madiran — 8 months ago

Abiatu 2017 de Imanol Garay @imanolgaray. 95% #tannat y 5% #cabernetfranc. 18 meses de crianza en barricas de 228 l y ánforas de arenisca. Madiran. Francia. 14% vol.
Impresionante vista picota de capa media-alta con ribete carmesí. Lágrima fina y densa que tinta la copa.
Aromas que necesitan de aireación para desplegar un abanico cuyo protagonista es el aporte mineral de pedernal que se ve acompañado por sensaciones de fruta roja y negra (arándanos), recuerdos de hoja de tabaco y toques balsámicos.
Ataque inicial picante con un carbónico sutil. Muy buena acidez. Tanino rugoso y sensaciones sedosas. Fresco, complejo y de buen recorrido. Adictivo.
Vino personal de Imanol Garay al que hay que acercarse con la mente abierta y huyendo de estereotipos.
A mi, personalmente, me ha encantado, aunque le queda recorrido y, quizás, dar aún lo mejor de sí con más tiempo.

Vintage 2002 - Stubborn wine from tannat, it's a solid choice with good p/q Don't expect a lot of complexity in this basic cuvee, but pleasant smell with plums, spicyness, in taste medium concentration. It gives some chocolate impressions after given air, also coffee and espresso. With a filet de boeuf. #madiran #tannat #madiranmoment #happy — 8 years ago

Really enjoyed this wine at a local restaurant. Decided to pickup à few bottles to see if it holds true. Still a big fan. Will be adding 4-6 bottles to my collection. #joeldamienrobitaille — 9 years ago

Great southwest #madiran, one of the better wines I have had the fortunate opportunity to sample during my adventures in France.
