Très bon Cahors, fruité route en finesse. À reprendre avec fromages, bbq, porc. — 7 years ago
Clear, deep ruby colour. Clean, pronounced red fruits and pepper on the nose. Dry, high acidity and tannins, with ripe plum, red cherries and heaps of pepper! Full-bodied with a very long finish. Very good quality.
Great accompaniment to the beautifully cooked, glazed fillet.

Nose of black fruit, even some blueberries, a bit of a smokey feel to it, some violets too and traces of dark chocolate. The palate is delicious with good acidity, a nice freshness coupled with subtle and approachable tannins, on a good fairly lenghty finish. A nice forward 2017 at a good price for the appellation and that will age well also no doubt. 91-92 pts
Un nez de fruits noirs et bleuets entre autres, floral avec des violettes et des traces de chocolat noir. Une bouche délicieuse avec une bonne acidité, de la fraîcheur en plus des tannins assez souples et soyeux, finale assez longue et savoureuse. Un beau 2017 approchable maintenant et ii va tenir la route et à un prix acceptable pour l’appellation. 91-92

One of those unicorn wines. Just a unique wine made of blend of varietals. Mostly Cab but some Pinot in there too. 2003 gives it a brickish color. Gorgeous wine with lively fruit and good acidity; lingering on the palate. “Daumas Gassac apparently has a geological formation unique in the Languedoc: chalky, friable, poor in humus, the bits of earth ranging in size from mere grains of sand to little stones, a soil similar in aspect, similar in constitution, to that of the Côte d’Or and the Italian Friuli.” Excerpt from Adventures of The Wine Route. — 2 years ago

Nez principalement sur les fruits noir, cuir, eucalyptus! En bouche, c’est très bien, les saveurs typique bordelais, fruits noirs, tabac, cuir, cèdre , roches mouillées. Le vin est quand même puissant, les tannins sont présents et le vin a un bel équilibre. Va tenir la route encore
Longtemps mais c’est très bon en ce

Loved this South African blend (64% Shiraz, 15% Mourvèdre, 9% Petite Sirah, 9% Grenache, 3% Tannat). At 12 years old, this was drinking perfectly. Dark and concentrated in the glass, the nose was full on baking spices. The palate delivered bold dark red fruit, in a silky texture.
Our neighbors have a home in South Africa and are introducing us to some local wines that are delicious but sadly hard to find in the US - if anyone knows where to find this please drop me a line in the comments! This would be a superb every day drinker. — 8 years ago

Light pink color. Aromas of red berries and red and white flowers. Flavors of wild strawberries, pomegranate, green melon, red apples and unripe peaches. A slight citrus note on the medium finish. Medium-minus body and medium acidity. Light, easy drinking and refreshing. Thanks for sharing, Chris B! — a year ago
