1993 Chateau Bouscasse Madiran Vielles Vignes

Description

This is well aged Tannat! Tertiary, but still showing black fruit with nuancing notes of autumn leaves and tobacco. This improved over the course of 3 days, and could pass for a Bordeaux from the 80s early 90s.

Madiran, South West France, France
100% Tannat

About the producer

Chteau Bouscass has belonged to the Brumont family for several generations. The property includes 50 hectares of superb clay-limestone terroir along the cliff in the commune of Maumusson-Laguian. This terroir is also somewhat humorously known as the Pied de Cte de Saint Emilion (“The foot of the Saint Emilion Slope”), because the Tannat that grows there produces a wine that has similar characteristics to some of the great wines of Bordeaux’s right bank, in that they possess a rigorous style, a refined structure and a substantial potential to age.
