South-western France is up and coming wine region. There are about 10 million bottles of Madiran AOC produced in an area of about 3200 acres (1300 hectares), facing the Pyrenees mountains. This particular wine comes from the southernmost parts of the region and is made of 50% Tannat and 50% Cabernet Franc grapes. You can guess from its name, the Tannat grape variety is very tannic. Roger Corder, in his famous book "The Wine Diet" published in 2007, 3 pages devoted to one wineand that wine is Madiran. He did not want to apply to this particular manufacturer. Corder talks about technology, micro-oxygenation, which is used to reduce the ferocity of tannins without reducing the levels of some chemicals, ostensibly to be good for the heart, when the wine is consumed in moderation.

Chateeau Peyros Magenta Madiran 2006 13.8% alcohol$ 10
Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note: The combination of local Tannat and Cabernet Franc grapes, the secular, the castle is Peyros Madiran is remarkably soft and round, with regard Tannat is a rugged character. Filled with cherries, raspberries and plums, this dry, fruity, balanced wine has a nice right now. Elegant wine that deserves an elegant cut-grilled rare beef or lamb. (Year panel, July 2009). And now for my review.
At first sipThe wine was strong with strong tannins. But the tannins are not unpleasant tannins, probably because the wine's acidity. The first meal involved in the London Broil meat, potato patties and green beans all cooked together slowly. Madiran was Plum and Grape, and now acid was somewhat harsh, and at the edge. With canned corn, chickpeas, celery, sliced palm hearts salad and the wine was thinner and tannins were almost gone.
Another meal consisted of roasted merguez, a spicy,North fatty lamb sausages, potatoes, meatballs, salad, and salsa. With meat, the wine was strong, but not too acidic. It was round and soft. Potato patties Madiran reduced acidity, but increased their fruit. When I joined the Louisiana cayenne sauce on meat (I like spicy, but I'm no bigot) of wine has lost some power. With a salad with wine was quite long and refreshing.
My last meal of boiled beef ribs accompanied involved slowly baked potatoes in chickenfat. Wines displayed good balance between acidity and tannins. Presented a sweet dark cherries and a little tobacco. Processed potatoes, good wine and grease I tasted plums. The Turkish salad consisting of fresh beans, tomato paste, chili peppers (very little) garlic and Madiran lost some of its fruits.
Before the traditional two cheeses, I enjoyed a few herring oil with onions. The wine was round with some oak. Not bad. In combination with Swiss cheese, it tasteddark cherry and some oak. Then I tried goat cheese, which was made with roasted garlic. The wine was round and barely sour taste of cherries.
Final verdict. This wine was nothing special, if you go to health. Because I had to pay more than $ 10 I do not think I'd go for it again. I was surprised to see Madiran at $ 60, which was evaluated at 93 from Wine Spectator. Although I am now reviewing wines in this price range do not plan tobuy a Madiran.
