Description
Red Wine by Domaine Berthoumieu from French, France – regions. Very ripe, rich Madiran that takes no prisoners. This wine succeeds in obtaining more fruit than tannin! The color is nearly opaque – wine doesn’t get much darker than this. It displays notes of black fruit (blackcurrant and blackberry) along with just a hint of red fruit. There is a cedar-like creaminess to the oak which is extremely well-integrated. Tannins pick up on the finish but, let’s face it, this is Madiran and that is to be expected. The wine is composed of 90% Tannat with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines that are at least 50 years old. These tannins dissolve when the wine is matched with richly flavored meats like leg of lamb, duck, goose or game.
