Community Tasting Note

Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Wednesday, November 2, 2016 - Madiran is an area where the wine can endure heat and also long ageing in the bottle.

This is illustrated by this 27 year old bottle which is fresh and vibrant although the tertiary notes have developed.

Immediate taste suggests this is a Bordeaux but the mid-palate and aftertaste is not really Bordeaux and directs rather to Rhone and the conclusion is that it is a Madiran.

Really nice wine and I have bought newer Montus vintages and wonder whether they will hold up the same way as this magnificent 1989.
