Madiran, Sud-Ouest, FranceAn 80/20 mix of tannat/cabernet sauvignon that comes standard with an opaque colour. The nose is aromatic with a big savoury hit of dried herbs and cherry aromas. It's aged in 80 percent new oak, adding even more power to the mix, but it seems to answer the rich black fruit flavours mixed with cedar and leather notes through the finish. There is fine freshness here, lending some overall balance to the final picture as big as it is. Bst with grilled led lamb or similar big mu items. A giant of a wine.Tasted: 24 September 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Madiran, Sud-Ouest, FranceA blend of 80 percent tannat and 20 percent cabernet sauvignon, this pours an inky ruby colour, indicative of these two thick-skinned varieties. It’s quite savoury in style, as you often expect from southwest France, with dried wild black fruits, herbs, and some first signs of age in the form of cedar and leather. The oak, 80 percent new barrels, works seamlessly with the wine and presents itself quite subtly. The palate is lively and fresh with firm, slightly rustic tannins that will benefit from additional time in bottle. Tuck this away for another 4-5 years. If you haven’t explored Madiran yet, this is a great introduction. Fans of Italian or southern French reds should give this a try when it's released in January 2020.Tasted: 26 October 2019Tasted by: Prices:
