Famille Jouffreau
Cahors Malbec
As authentic and old school as it gets. Nose is cassis, wild herbs, dusty tweed, a graves vibe almost, so earthy, I love it. Palate is juicy and clean with the classic Gamot rustic edge. Gorgeous, clearly defined red and purple fruits surrounded with dry earth and leather. Elegant and complex with a firm structure and outstanding length. A great bottle.
This went from 9.5 to 9.6 on day. Gained an irresistible creaminess and didn’t lose any edge. Got more elegant. This is world class wine.

Black berry fruit, charred meat, embers with an irony minerality. Beautifully balanced at the moment.

Old school meets suavé. Very cherry on the nose initially with red and black fruits mixed. Earth, leather,
Nice cocoa on the palate against lemon on short ribs. Multi faceted, easy, maybe too easy. Do not be deceived, this is A+ vino. It’s like the old world popped its head into the new. Deliciousness!

Savory delight - currants, garrigue, tannins. Developing but seemingly early stage even at 15 years. Gastronomic and a terrific pairing with regional foods (braised Toulouse sausages & beans). Perfect provenance for this library release from Fass Selections @Lyle Fass
