2006 Madiran AOC, South-west France, France

Ask producer about this wine Download Awards and Seals

Nutty aroma of ripe black berries with some dried herbs, tobacco, violets and tart spicy notes. Firm, juicy dark fruit, somewhat nutty and woody-spicy, peppery and slightly tobacco notes, dense and persistent, very present, fine sandy tannins, slightly earthy tones, good depth, has power, but also polish, fine acid bite and even elegance, still rather young-looking, salty mineral hints, delicate roasting, very good, firm finish with a lot of grip and tart dark juice. In first-class condition, much more convincing than in its youth.
