Chateau Bouscasse Madiran 'Vieilles Vignes' 2004

Medium to deep ruby red in color - is a touch purple at the rim. Aromas are of lifted, lively red & black plums & damsons. The palate comprises open, soft, ripe, juicy plum fruit, that is supported by fresh acid.

The fruit on the mid-palate fades quite quickly, giving way to some slightly astringent tannins. Alcohol is in balance & the finish has reasonable length.
