  Blood red; meaty, a touch of mint, hefty ; stubborn tannins, chewy, dark fruit, rugged; forceful & convincingly authentic. Food a necessity. Probably best drunk up, though if fruit holds, this will be still good in a decade.

  Needs about an hour or so decant. Black fruit on the nose but can also get a very Bordeaux feel. Decently tannic and can hold its age for a while longer in the cellar. Full bodied and excellent for the price point. A crowd pleaser. 92.

  Just a ton of tannins, still, at this age. Color still quite red. Tastes like a young wine - but I am not convinced there's enough fruit or intensity to balance those tannins over time. I'd be super curious how this tastes in a decade, but truthfully I don't think it's worth holding for that long. Good wine, but not good enough to age for as long as it needs.
  
  EDIT: so 4-5 hours later this did open up a bit. Rummaged around and found some black fruit in there. Good, not great. Not dire, overall judgement holds.

  17,5/20 * * * * COUP de COEUR SAQ:30,75$
  VISUEL: Marron foncé
  OLFACTIF:épicé, poivré, viandé. Notes animales et un côté fourrure. Cela donne un très beau nez.
  GUSTATIF: En bouche, la texture est riche et profonde avec des fruits (figues noires). Notes de terre. Les tanins sont puissants mais bien domptés. La bouche est vraiment superbe pour ce Madiran d'exception. Long. long, long....
  ENSEMBLE: Coup de coeur assuré pour un excellent Madiran de 11 ans !

  Dark, of course; meaty, hefty but not overstated, still not fully opened but dark fruits lurking, no intrusive oak; tannins integrated, substantial, brooding, more to come; in terms of Madiran could almost be described as polished. Impressive, a welcome antithesis to modernity & flash.
