Madiran Vieilles Vignes, Château Bouscassée - 2006

750 mL
Item # 24963

Grown in the region's flat clay soils, a charming introduction to Madiran's personality. Bush fruit on nose and palate, with crushed scrubby herbs and a thick underbrush of tannins that will soften over time.

It is the principal grape of Bordeaux, and as such has rightly earned its place among the greatest and most long-lived wines of the Old World; of course, it is also the most heralded grape of California, positioning it at the forefront of the New World wine scene as well.
