Chateau Montus Madiran 2005

For dinner we opened this blend of 80% Tannat and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose were raspberries, blackberry, earth, herbs, oak and some florals. The palate was quite replete with chewy acidity, mineral and lots of dry tannins. Quite deep and persistant, but manages to stay focused and balance. A muscular red but very nice.

50+4+14+17+8 = 93/100
