Tonight I had a young (97) Capmartin that was wonderful with cassoulet--my nongeek family members were quite impressed with it, which I always take as a good sign.Of course, unlike you I usually find Madiran quite pleasurable, given hearty fare. I've got a magnum of the Montus 88 prestige tucked away somewhere--perhaps we can roast a boar sometime and give it the attention it deserves.
Actually, I'm of two minds about letting these wines age--the conventional wisdom is to wait eons for the tannins to subside, but I often find the youthful exuberance of the fruit counterbalances the roughness of the structure, so I can drink them young as well.
