This was the most expensive in the Malbec flight from the spiritual home of Malbec- Cahors in south west France. Superseded by the Argentinians on the night. This was Chateau du Cedre. — 8 years ago

I am not a sweet wine person. This one was perfect. It hit the spot after my meal when i crave something sweet. I’ll be doing dessert wines more often.

Ahhhh Cahors. A lot going on here. Dark fruit, spice and meat with a little wild blueberry and chocolate. Elegant- though tannins still evident and a touch of brett adds a layer of authenticity. SUBSTANTIAL. Begging for some beef. Ain't nothin' wrong with aged Malbec from Southern France. — 8 years ago
Light ruby dress. Burgundy nose between sour red fruits, toasted aging, and tertiary notes of evolution. Half-corse mouth, mineral and in accordance with the nose, red fruits, spices, truffle, undergrowth, cedar, smoked, blond tobacco. The elegance of mastered classicism.
Robe rubis, légère. Nez bourguignon entre fruits rouges acidulés, élevage toasté, et notes tertiaires d’évolution. Bouche demi-corsée, minérale et en accord avec le nez, fruits rouges, épices, truffe, sous-bois, cèdre, fumé, tabac blond. L’élégance du classicisme maîtrisé. — 2 years ago
Complex nose, woody, mineral, tropical, slight mineralogy. Aggressive in the mouth. Slightly too expensive for what you get — 5 years ago
(16.5/20) Вино тёмно-фиолетового цвета с свежим ароматом черешни, спелой чёрной сливы, красных яблок. Тельное с высокой кислотностью, гладкими, хотя и суховатыми танинами. Вкус соответствует аромату. Послевкусие продолжительное. — 8 years ago

One of the bottles we brought back from our stay in the Lot region. Opened 1 hour and 30 minutes before serving. Served over a charcoal grilled super ribeye piece. Great pairing!
Very different take on cahors than the ones we tasted over there. Oak, chocolate, cassis, blackberry, cherry, a menthol thing too. Very inviting and complex. The palate shows a very long acid drive, some nice matter, a soft mouthfeel, some cherry, chocolatey and blackberry notes, some typical grainy, dusty tannins, and a long, everlasting finish with that dusty layer, some cherry, an oaky note reminiscent of the nose and a nice, delicate, savoury touch in the rear, with a very nice pinch of umami to make it great. Less extracted than expected (and than Le cèdre cuvée I had a few years ago), an elegant, modern Cahors. Great stuff! — 2 months ago
