“A fine wine for aging”

“Made primarily from Tannat, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine comes from the Madiran estate managed by Alain Brumont. The wine balances the bold tannins of the three grape varieties with the power of black fruit, acidity, and density. It still needs to age and will be ready starting in 2022.” (Wine Enthusiast 2020)

Not bad. Not quite up to the standard of Château Montus.

A very good Madiran—classic, fruity, with notes of sour cherry. Excellent

A safe bet... a fairly tannic wine that needs a few years to reach its full potential!
