Aroma of dusty mild raspberries. Soft initial taste with a big burst of dry earth dry dry berry middle. No flavor at the end then a earthy dry dry finish.

Malbec from Cahors might quite possibly be the biggest value coming over from France right now.

Good enough but not good enough to finish the bottle. Missing a 2nd dimension.

Loam and earthy, salty, dried plum aromatic. Rustic vigor, sour red berries, fresh and feisty middle-weight.

Generous and more fun than Argentinian Malbec. Great deal. 2013 Best in 6-10 yrs. buy it.

Great tannic structure holding up a bowl of black fruit. Good acidity and judicious oak treatment. Maybe a Malbec with typicity?
