Cháteau Peyros Madiran Vielles Vignes 2013
Madiran, Sud-Ouest, FrancePeyros is one of the larger, more established producers in Madiran, located near the south of the appellation. Peyros takes its name for the Gascony word for rocky. This blend of tannat and cabernet franc is from 25-30-year-old vines, and after ferment, spent one year in oak. Potent and powerful, rustically-hued via roasted meats, faint smoke, thorny blackberry, cassis and espresso. The oak is ragged and tannins blocky, but the fruit is black and wild. Even with the necessary time in bottle, this needs food (preferably wild, fatty, and protein-laden).Tasted: 27 October 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $26.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
