Château Peyros 2003 Cuvée Greenwich Tannat (Madiran)

Country: France / Cuvée Greenwich
Variety: Tannat Southwest France
Winery: Château Peyros / Madiran

The name refers to the fact that Madiran is on the Greenwich Meridian of zero degrees longitude. The wine, from a single parcel, is bold and black in character and color. It is firmly tannic, with plenty of balancing acidity, but the tannins are sweet, now softening into the superripe fruits and chocolate flavors. It will fully mature in the next 2–3 years.
