October 14, 2023 - Nez viande, animal, cuir. En bouche tout en rondeur, ampleur moyenne . Beaucoup de fraîcheur en finale. Tres agréable. A boire, mais devrait tenir encore quelques années malgre ses 23 ans

March 28, 2023 - Just as enjoyable as before but in a totally different way: the cabernet franc (I didn't even know there was any) has taken over the finish, making it much fresher than before. Mostly red fruit now - so redcurrant, red cherry and cranberry, with still enough zest midpalate to keep it interesting, but with that cool finish that reminded me of a Loire red. Quite weird but very good.

December 25, 2021 - First of 5 bottles.
not decanted as this was the first bottle.
Having tasted it, I would prefer to let it evolve in bottle and glass and not decant.
This had everything that I look for in an aged Madiran without the more pronounced oak profile found in the Montus bottles.
Nice hue; very appropriate for its age.
Excellent complexity with some fruit still, spices, earthy notes, animal/leather aromas. Excellent texture with enough tannins to hold everything together for another 5+ years. Excellent balance and finish.
An absolute bargain at about 20 Euros. -

April 25, 2021 - Une bouteille que est resté dans mon cellier plus longtemps que prévu. Elle a bien vielli; dépot important, couleur pourpre, petits fruits, pas trèes long en bouche.
