A little riper and more concentrated than I would expect, but still went great with a rustic Toulouse sausage stew.

Been wanting to try a Malbec from Cahors. This one pours a garnet color with with earthy black fruit (blackberry, plum) aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied, fresh and a bit tannic with a bit of minerality. Blackberry and plum flavors dominate with a bit of cassis and roast coffee flavors, and a lingering finish. A blend of 97% Malbec with 3% Tannat, this Cahors is sourced from 30-50 year old vines planted in calcareous clay.

100% Malbec, situation oblige, élevé en fût de chêne, c'est doux et soyeux (Malbec) et puissant (fût de chêne).
C'est excellent pour cette soirée en 😍.
