Chateau Bouscasse Madiran 2013 craiglee 6 million year old calcsilicate60% Tannat, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon yielding 45 hl ha. Malo is done in barrel and the wine is bottled without filtration. An elegant expression of Madiran offering more body and depth than many Bordeaux at prices that reach well above the modest price for this wine. Fragrant with blackcurrants plum and spice. Wonderfully fresh on the palate with remarkably refined tannins. Offers great drinking pleasure now.
