Fantastic Malbec from the SouthWest of France. Good tannic grip, plenty of fruit. This would be great to pair with a hearty meal. “Tour de France” Tasting at NCWC. Rating reaffirmed 8/29/20.

Another young soul in an old world body. I put this solidly in the...solid realm. It has berries and some cedar/pencil lead and it is a rather uptown cahors but I’ll take it! Meanwhile I’ll just keep trying to match bottle to shirt to eyes here.

Dark ruby red. Notes of Plum and earth. On the palate medium weight and intensity with fine dusty soft tannins. From the spiritual Home of Malbec. A Wine which would go with many foods. I chose a grass fed Scotch Fillet, but it would also be good with Pasta. Probably not as full bodied as most Argentinian or Australian Malbecs I have had.

Nez plus sur le fruit léger et sur l équilibre et une structure présente mais encore agréable

Showing really well. Great aromatics. Ready to drink but no rush.

Thick and chewy. Beautiful black/blue meaty fruit.

Texture, acid, structure it it kept tying to open up but didn't. Kept hinting at fruit that never quite materialized.
