"The prize goes to this Vieilles Vignes cuvée, with its inky color and violet hues, and its intense, complex bouquet of ripe black fruits, sweet spices, and toasty notes. After a supple attack, the wine slowly builds in intensity, revealing a long, highly aromatic, generous, and full-bodied palate, structured by silky, licorice-like tannins. An exceptional Madiran, perfectly suited for grilled red meat or duck breast—but best enjoyed in at least five years.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010)
