"The prize goes to this inky, violet-hued Vieilles Vignes cuvée, with its intense, complex bouquet of ripe black fruits, sweet spices and toasty nuances. A supple attack is followed by a slow build-up to a long, highly aromatic, generous and fleshy palate, structured by silky, liquorice tannins. An exceptional Madiran, ideal for grilled red meat or duck breast, but at least five years from now". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010)

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated (2012 guide) 16/20 (Very good)
About the wine:
An astonishingly rich wine, with black fruit, coffee and balsamic notes. Powerful, firm and deep on the palate, but not without a velvety character.
