Very nice after an hour decant. A little acidic at first. Will pair nice with marinaded lamb loin chops.

Great value. Should improve with a few years as well.

Love this Cahors. Malbec from its true birthplace and with so many facets. Really stellar bottle for the price...

Blackberry jam and black current with both grippy tannins and nice acid. Decent. About cook strak.

Medium purple. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and plums of medium intensity. On palate medium bodied with plummy notes with a medium. + finish. Drink now or cellar for 5 years.

2012 Inky violet color with aromatic leather, earth, black fruit, and a bit of violet aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, fresh and smooth with well integrated tannins with blackberry, plum, black raspberry, graphile flavors underscored by an appealing minerality and a lingering satisfying finish. A steal at $13!
