Ahhhh Cahors. A lot going on here. Dark fruit, spice and meat with a little wild blueberry and chocolate. Elegant- though tannins still evident and a touch of brett adds a layer of authenticity. SUBSTANTIAL. Begging for some beef. Ain't nothin' wrong with aged Malbec from Southern France.

Right now in mild hibernation.
Nothing that time will not heal.

Jun 21st, 2016Dark purple in the glass; drinking pour is near black. Nose of meaty menthol and dark fruits. Full-bodied mouthfeel with moderate tannins. Dark fruit cobbler with meaty menthol through to the finish. Well-made softer style of the black wine. Probably want to drink up in the next couple of years.
