Vignobles Brumont 1996 Château Montus XL Tannat (Madiran)

Country: France / Château Montus XL
Variety: Tannat Southwest France
Winery: Vignobles Brumont / Madiran

It is rare to find a wine this old as a new release. In fact, it probably should have been released a few years ago. Because its browning color, old tannins and acidity all suggest a wine that has gone past its peak. As a curiosity this is definitely right there and, for that, drink it now. Two bottles tasted.
