Alain Brumont 2005 Château Bouscassé Menhir Tannat-Merlot (Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne)

Country: France / Château Bouscassé Menhir
Variety: Tannat-Merlot Southwest France
Winery: Alain Brumont / Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne

Now at its peak, this rich, complex wine comes from a great, structured vintage in the Madiran region. Having moved on from primary fruit, it is now into leather, smokiness, toast and intense mature acidity. With tannins so well integrated into the full-bodied texture, it is a major wine to drink now and until 2020.
