Community Tasting Notes 5

  March 1, 2024 - Nose: Tar, black plums, spiced cherry, soil, overall gives a deep impression. Palate: baked red plum, christmas spice; tangy tomato puree; polished tannins. The palate is certainly less dark and brooding than the nose suggests, and gives a brighter more Italian-like feel. To me the tanginess on day one is a bit too overpowering. Pretty consistent with my day one notes on day two.

  April 10, 2022 - Nose: Ripe cassis, graphite, and leather. Palate: Surprisingly lighter bodied than I expected with notes of barely ripe cranberries; in addition, the tannins were already surprisingly integrated for a relatively young tannat. I did have this wine side-by-side with the 2017 vieilles vignes from the same producer and to my preferences it's worth spending $5-10 for the older vines and the 100% tannat wine (compared to this one that is 60% tannat, 20% CS, and 20% CF).

  September 3, 2021 - Medium ruby color. Moderately intense aromas of dark fruit, spice, smoke, herbs. Dry, with elevated acidity but only moderate, surprisingly silky tannins. The fruit is ripe but not sweet, a little austere, but concentrated. Medium-bodied, 14°.

  November 6, 2020 - 17/20 Coup de coeur pour ce Madiran.
  Foncé, noir, sombre. Nez tout aussi concentré avec des notes goudronnées, de fruits noirs et de chocolat/noisette.
  Très beau Madiran, de la matière, de la texture. Un vrai plaisir sensuel pour le palais. Fianle sur les fruits noirs bien mûris.
  Un délice !
