Château d’Aydie

AOP Madiran

Deep, intense ruby red. Fine, elegant and complex on the nose, with a blend of black fruit and coffee aromas.
A very rich attack followed by a quite mature consistency and silky tannins. Fine, precise woody mouth aromas. An exceptional Madiran, powerful and complex, with unusual potential. This wine can very easily be kept for 7 to 10 years.
