2001 Château Montus Madiran

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Thursday, July 13, 2023 - Not much different than the last bottle I had, really. Still showing very well, still firm with a tannic backbone and deep colour. However, "finesse" is never a word you would associate with Madiran. I don't see this one going soft anytime soon.

The wine definitely benefits from a lot of air. I'm finishing the bottle on the second day after a night in the fridge and it is even better than yesterday.

Also worth mentioning is the excellent quality of the cork. It is very clean, looks very fresh and apparently is super dense, yet elastic, as it soaked up the wine for only about 1 or 2 millimetres and came out extremely easily in one piece. This property does not cut corners nowhere. All bottles I have had were very uniform in quality. Considering the moderate price I find that remarkable.
