Le Prestige Cahors Malbec 2023
Huge step up from the Tradition. The nose has much more concentrated and defined Malbec fruit, with blackberry, blueberry, wild mint and a deeper, more polished aromatic profile that still feels very true to the grape. The palate is rich and ripe but remarkably airy, with real finesse, elegance and tremendous concentration without any heaviness. Much more amplitude, depth and breadth here, with terrific grip, excellent freshness and beautiful fruit intensity. Complex, energetic and very complete, with the structure and material to improve further as the nose opens. Easily 9.4 upside. — 8 days ago

Le Tradition Cahors Malbec 2023
A very good bistro-style Cahors, full of expressive Malbec character. The nose is wide and high-toned, with loads of ripe berry fruit, macerated fruit skin, leather, a little funk and earthy dirt. The palate is rich, juicy and energetic, with plenty of amplitude through the middle, good freshness and toothsome rustic structure. Generous, vivid and packed with fruit, with lots of personality and plenty of wine in the glass. — 8 days ago

Cahors Malbec 2018
Château La Reyne - Cahors - grand vin - 2018
This is a complex wine! Cherry, chocolate, pencil lead on the nose. Wow this is inviting. The palate is showing a huge acid backbone, a great matter, some width with cherry all along, a good grip, that typical sandy, dusty tannin touch in mid palate before a very long fruity finish with that grain. One of the best value i recently came across! (6 euros in equivalent currency) — 5 years ago

9.1, flirting with 9.2. Beautiful, high-toned Malbec nose with dark berry fruit, chalk dust, wild mint, leather, spice and desiccated bark, plus a little animal, barnyard funk that adds complexity rather than detracts. The palate initially felt slightly out of sorts, but improved quickly with air, becoming juicy, ripe and energetic, with loads of macerated dark-berry skin character and terrific fruit intensity. Fresh, vivid and full of personality, though there is still a slightly awkward edge of heat and acidity keeping it below the Prestige for now.
Overnight it went to 9.0. Good not great. — 4 days ago
