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

Vintage 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.

Vintage 2008 This #malbec #cahors wine has a lot to offer: nice red fruit in a promising nose, fair roundness and balance in an excellent and very fresh taste. What a good cuvee this is...

When 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.

Fantastic 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.

Not what I expected. Strong character but not overwhelming.
