Jancis Robinson (17)

Tannat selected berry by berry. Aged in 100% new oak for 14 to 16 months – just like the later vintages.
Very dark blackish crimson with a thin, pale rim. Heady, rich nose with considerable sweetness. For quite a while in the tasting experience the opulent fruit completely overwhelms the ripe tannins. Definitely Tannat. Really rather glorious but, arguably, La Tyre changes less with years in bottle than the other cuvées from Alain Brumont.

La Tyre 2010 is a textbook wine for Madiran lovers. It has a sumptuous bouquet of dark berries, cherry, flowers and spices, intertwined with a perfectly integrated oaky frame. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is ample and layered, with huge depth and concentration, racy acids and a long, resonant finish. This gorgeous wine is just beginning to hit its stride. Keep it for 10–15 years. (Drink between 2022-2040)
