Brumont Chateau Montus La Tyre 2008

Brumont Château Montus La Tyre 2008 is a spectacular, deeply concentrated, and monumental masterpiece from the high, steep clay slopes of Castelnau-Rivière-Basse. Made from 100% select Tannat, it pours a near-opaque garnet-purple and releases complex, classic aromas of stewed blackberries, dark plums, licorice, and exotic spices, beautifully integrated with hints of sweet cedar and cigar box. On the palate, this full-bodied, highly structured wine showcases incredible muscle, density, and depth, offering rich dark fruit compote flavors balance by exceptional, fresh acidity and powerful, fine-grained, powdery tannins that extend into an extraordinarily long, harmonious, and robust finish.

Food Pairing: This muscular Tannat pairs spectacularly with slow-cooked duck confit, traditional cassoulet, wild boar stew, or rosemary-infused roast rack of lamb.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

Concentrated and supple, this full-bodied red bursts with dark cherry and plum fruit. A well-integrated, tangy acidity showcases the underlying cigar box, cocoa powder, sanguine and dried herb flavors. Hot stone and spice accents weave through the long finish. Drink now through 2020.
