Community Tasting Note

octopussy Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 18, 2018 - Opened 6 hours in advance. Inky, almost black colour. In the nose, it shows herbal notes, some pencil shavings, blueberry and blackberry fruit, hints of floral notes in the background, very concise, dark and brooding. In the mouth, it's quite heavy and almost brutal, the tannins are fine and not coating the tongue, but they give the wine a very sturdy structure, fine acidity adds some freshness, the fruit is not sweet, rather a bit tart, nice minerality in the finish. This wine has everything you would expect in a Madiran, but the wine is almost overwhelming if drunk on its own.
