Lionel Osmin & Cie, Madiran Mon Adour, 2009 PORTUCOUNT0125 This is Tuscan red forLionel Osmin built his house in 2010 to champion the wines of greater Southwest France, and Madiran is the region's powerhouse red. Mon Adour is a Tannat led blend with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in the Pyrenean foothills along the Adour river. With age, Tannat's famously firm tannins soften and mellow, and this 2009 has had plenty of time to do exactly that. A mature, savory bottle for the table. Drink now.
