Cuvée Reservée De l'Aieul Cahors Malbec
Cahors, Southwest France, France
Vintage 2014 | half a year ago I wrote: this needs more time. 90 Malbec 10 Tannat 16 m barrel aging 1/3 new | Today I am very happy: explosion of cherries in smell and a velvety taste. Very comforting. Paired with comté, fromage de truffle and parmesan | second day with venison steak

Oct 2nd, 2023Vintage 2014 | 90 Malbec 10 Tannat. 16 m barrel aging, 1/3 new wood. Wine with much potential, but needs more time. Archetypical Cahors. Black Berry. Forrest floor. Tobacco. Plums.

Dec 14th, 2017When There might have been more elegant or forceful wines on the table, this won out among the top three wines to enjoy with cassoulet. Sassafras and root spices, bright juicy black fruit and tannins just right for duck confit, garlic sausage, fattened haricot tarbais and the rest. Just right.

1 person found it helpfulJan 11th, 2017Fantastic wine. Both on the nose and on the palate, evident notes of apple and some pear. Smooth wine. Medium bodies fruity finish. Paired excellently with boeuf bourguignon.

1 person found it helpfulFeb 5th, 2016Deep ruby in color; graphite, black pepper, and cigar box on the nose; as it opens up, I'm getting a little black cherry on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like crushed gravel, blackberries, and black olives with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. Jason and I love it.

Not what I expected. Strong character but not overwhelming.
