Château Combel la Serre
Le Pur Friut du Causse Cahors Malbec
Cahors, Southwest France, France
Interesting expression of Malbec, quite tutti-fruity, with crunchy purple fruit on a medium frame. Juicy, with some liveliness in the mouth, and a clean finish. Definitely meant for early consumption, this fell apart on the second day. I enjoyed this, however, and it would work perfectly at a backyard bbq, especially at the 9 € price tag.

Interesting French Malbec by Julien Libert, wine aged in cement. Very dark red with sweet dark fruit aromas with flinty notes. On the palate cherry and blackberry flavors with hints of spice. Juicy firm tannins, a tad acidic, medium length ending with a mineral character.

Super funky smell to start. Opens up with a smooth leather finish

Everything what @Dan R said for the 2019 vintage applies here. Easy going wine that calls for cold cuts, dry sausage and/or delicatessen.
The nose is rather floral, with violet and a bit of blackberry and cherry. Easy going and straight fruit and fun. The palate is a fruit bomb with cherry mostly, a good width and a fun mouthfeel. Not much tannins but a spherical mid palate powering a fruit forward finish which comes across as fresh and tangy. This is not meant to be intellectual or philosophical, this is fruit juice with a twist and it's plain fun.

Wow. TART.
Took another taste and, just as Joshua said, maybe my palate wasn’t ready. It wasn’t ready because even though it’s still tart and dry I’m really liking this one.

Little earthy funk on the nose. Deep purple; only 12.5 but seems lime it would be more. Needs a little time to open up. This is much more of a food wine than one to sip on its own.
