Inky, purply dark. Nose of creamy blackcurrant. The attack is all about juicy acidity and plummy fruit, the furry tannins come in the mid-palate. 12.5% alcohol is really not bad at all for a warm vintage.
And the price? A tenner for a wine that you could age positively for a further decade seems a bit of a bargain to me. The Capmartins are really and truly in the front rank of Madiran producers, including their more illustrious neighbours.

Made from 80 % Tannat and 20 % Cabernet Sauvignon.
Quite rough at this stage. A dark, dense, full bodied red w. quite aggressive tannins. With air come softer and more mellow black fruits out as well as some herbal notes. Still, very rustic. Too young to truly evaluate at this stage, I think.
Keep.

2022 sehr schön trinkreif. Tannine spürbar aber mit Luft sehr rund. Viel Struktur, rote Beeren
