Côtes du Marmandais

€289.50

1.5L Magnum

Wow this is big and beautiful. It’s undeniably dense yet also quite crisp. Lovely ripe open nose with dark fruits, minerals and a hint of green foliage. The palate is savoury, quite firm and tannic with a spicy, leafy edge to the tight ripe fruits. Very tannic and structured with good acidity. You could certainly drink it now, ideally next year, but you could also cellar it for at least five years with confidence.
