The 1998 Chateau Laffitte-Teston Madiran Vieilles Vignes is a robust red wine, crafted entirely from Tannat grapes sourced from 80-year-old vines, ensuring particularly low yields and concentrated flavour. This vintage underwent 20 to 25 days of vatting, followed by 12 months of ageing in new oak barrels in the estate's underground cellar. On the nose, expect a fine and harmonious bouquet of roasted coffee grains, chocolate, vanilla, prune, and dark fruits like blackcurrant and blackberry. The palate is beautifully structured, offering a concentrated, full-bodied, and generous experience with a long-lasting finish. Community reviews highlight its very sustained tannins and oaky notes, indicative of its powerful style. 🍴 This Madiran is an excellent companion for hearty dishes. Consider pairing it with roasted meats, a rich cassoulet, various red meats, mature cheeses, or even dark chocolate for a decadent finish. 🥂 Perfect for a convivial dinner party, especially when serving traditional Gascon cuisine or other robust, flavourful dishes. It's also a fantastic choice for a gathering of friends who appreciate powerful, age-worthy red wines. 【100% Tannat from 80-year-old vines with particularly low yields】
