[80% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon] Leather, forest floor, maybe a little Brett, excellent structure and depth, despite its age, seems like it can easily age another 10-15 years, long, lingering finish, excellent Madiran! — 6 days ago

Jalapeño/bell pepper, raspberry, chalk, underripe blood orange rind, medium tannins (leaning towards medium plus), dried herbs, slightly smoky, cherry on the finish and nice acid. Previous bottle could meld with chicken, not so much on this one. Will save to have with some meat tomorrow 😁 — 4 months ago

Gros manseng!! Who knew it could be this good? High acidity, savory finish. Mineral and stone. — 5 months ago

Nice pepper and current flavor. Enjoying with some cheeses and olive oil and bread. Tannins are well balanced with the fruit. I’m a big fan of Malbec so I might be biased but this is a very tasty wine. — 6 days 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! — 5 months ago

Dense, tannic, medium weight texture, good acidity, a little stony earth and funk. Tastes Italian, but less rustic than that implies. A little on the simple side but tastes good wine for grownups. I imagine it could age a lot. 90. — a month ago
