JEROBOAM Château Barrejat, Madiran 2022
This jeroboam is huge, holding six and two thirds bottles of wine, and as such these spectacular bottles are fun for parties (though hard to pour!) or as gifts.
Wines from Madiran, an appellation in the south-west of France well south of Bordeaux, traditionally had a reputation for being dark, tannic and leathery. This blend of local grape Tannat (about 60%) with Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc (20% each) is anything but that: it's beautifully ripe and silky - the best country wine you could imagine. In this sunny vintage it evinces black-fruited aromas followed by a gorgeous mouthful of red and black fruit backed by a weave of supple tannins. Honest, dry and savoury, terrific with any meat dish, very more-ish and deservedly a best seller. Now-2028
"Full bottle 1,244 g. These old vines are probably 80 years old and some may even be pre-phylloxera, so perhaps over 150 years old. 80% Tannat plus the Cabernets, oaked. Really quite rich and ripe on the nose – quite a surprise for a Tannat-based wine! Sweet start with the Tannat tannins well hidden. This should really appeal to those who like a wine to drink now and cellar. It's not a bordeaux copy but has its own very distinctive local personality. Oakphobes should avoid but even at this early stage there is enough distraction from the oak which should fade GV.16.5+/20, Drink 2024-2030" Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com, 25th October 2024
