16 Haut Madrac Have not had this since the 2009 or 2010 vintage. There’s a certain house style funk going on here. Inky, vegetal (olives and mushrooms) and coffeed oak. Medium plus bodied, with grainy and savoury tannins and a nice touch of menthol through the aftertaste. Liked this more the longer I sat with it- a slightly bilgy wood character blowed off to reveal some lovely black and red fruit and menthol too. Has potential, look again in 2 years and reassess. Don’t pop and pour this one at this stage, give a good bit of air. Good to very good. 91.
