Wine Time- Château Montus Madiran 2012
Labor Day has come and gone, teachers are back in school and I'm ditching the Rosé for some big red wine like this beauty from Southwest France, a 2021 Château Montus Madiran.
This powerful wine is made of Tannat grapes, some of the "healthiest" grapes in wine, due to high levels of antioxidants. The nose exudes dark cherry and leather aromas, with bold flavors of dark chocolate, cherry, plum and tobacco, with just a hint of smoke. This is a big wine that still feels elegant with a high acidity and a silky finish.
This wine is quite wonderful right now if you enjoy robust reds, but could also be held for another five or ten years to allow the tannins to soften. Cheers!
