Château Bouscassé (Alain Brumont)
Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat
Madiran, Southwest France, France
Very Good quality wine, rustic and rowdy, but with a structured and dense backbone, tannic!? Yes! But with plenty of fruit, florals to make it alive. Somewhat wearying alcohol and without food you’re up for a good fight. Decent complexity and good length

Jan 21st, 2019Dark and dense, but with a fresh line and earthy/bloody component nestled in the dark fruit and balanced oak. The flavor is of course driven by its lip smacking tannins, yet with a good fruit coverage which made them more approachable than expected. Modern winemaking in this rural outpost is the recipe for success. Nice performance

One of the best madirans I've ever had because The blend is perfect.. the Sauvignon gives a solid spine to this tannat based wine, and that dollop of cab franc gives a gamey green note which would make it a magical match for a nice duck confit or even a lamb dish.. (braised leg perhaps ) needs another year or an hour in a decanter ....or both!!.

This one is eighteen years young and has a nose and pallet that just bursts with notes of charcoal, tobacco, ink, thyme and deep, dark fruit flavors.

Oct 11th, 2016Fresh aroma of red berries, licorice and a hint of plum. Tastes of oak and a little tobacco. Has a kick to it and medium tannins.
