This is delicious! Not made to age for the long haul, but it has a few years in it. Great cherry and raspberry flavors, smooth tannins. Just yummy, and I am inclined to like it better than the Muga I had earlier 😊

Completing my weekend Cahors trifecta, this wine is the wildest of the bunch. Deep and inky with some sediment. Very tight upon opening and doesn't seem to loosen up. The fruit is in there, though pinned down by big oak influence. This must want some more cellar time.

It's Blanton's, proofed up to 103. Being a single barrel, Blanton's is consistently good but not consistently great. This bottle is well above average. It smells and tastes like something from the Van Winkle bourbon lineup. Dark cherry, apricot, leather, cigar box. Much more pleasing than last years bottle. I thought the Gold used to be in a skinnier 700ml bottle, but this is 750ml. Maybe I'm losing it 🤔

Another fine value from Cahors. This has a bit more oak than last night's offering, but tastes more Malbec-y. Leans towards New World. Medium tannins, acidity in place. Enjoyable.

Zin sounded right on this cool, rainy day. Totally rewriting my review after an hour. A big whiff of sour fruit (not bad). Thinner mouthfeel than i expected. The taste is dried fruits: prune, dates, apricot. Chocolate, licorice, sweet things. There in an odd charred element, a bit like pipe tobacco but burned. Not terribly off putting, but I do think it's getting tired. 11 years! @Doug Powers That's like senior citizen old!

Really dark fruit and a splash of mint. To quote Led Zeppelin and the legendary @Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego , you gotta whole lotta oak, you gotta whole lotta oak 🎶

A very pleasant Cahors Malbec. Fruit is dark and overripe. Plum, blueberry, macerated strawberries. Maybe some melon and licorice. A little lacking in acidity.
