A deep garnet with mahogany rim. Classic earth, leather and shoe polish aromas with ripe and baked fruits. A dry intense entry with a leathery texture leads to super grippy and puckering tannins. Flavours lean towards dried dates and fruit cake; there is a medium+ acidity, full body, and a mid+ alcohol level towards a medium finish. A fair wine that would benefit from paired with a fatty dish to cut through its tannic structure.

20 years old and still good! Dark fruit on the nose, prunes, compote-like fruits, licorice, very round and supple. But not long. Drink now!

Bon Madiran. Facile à boire mais laisser respirer 15-30 minutes.

M'a semblé plus austère et moins agréable ce soir.
