Wow, best Aligote I’ve had yet. At Moore tasting 1/24/26. Opened with panoramic white floral fruits stones into lovely texture and long finish. Would sniff only for a long time. Bought one to hold — 4 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Beautiful nose of black currants, light oak, spices, plums, cooked cherries, herbs, garrigue, earth, espresso, light vegetables, forest floor, dried meats and black tea.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Very dry on the palate with black plums, black currants, light wood, spices, coffee, black tea, peppercorn and cola notes.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 13 year old French Malbec is still drinking very nicely, but a tad past its prime. Complex and chewy.
Showing a wonderful nose and a complex mid palate, but the finish was a bit disappointing. Loved smelling on it for a long time.
Definitely showing its age, especially on the nose. Doesn't drink like a Malbec at all, though. Feels more like an old world Bordeaux blend. So interesting. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.
Good right out of the bottle and got more complexity as it opened up. (30 minutes).
A great food wine that paired nicely with hard cheeses.
14% alcohol by volume.

Sweetness trumping most finish notes. Cider-y in the best way. — 10 months ago

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.
