Cahors, Southwest France, France
Drank 1/4/18. Nice pairing with char grilled burgers. Would benefit from a couple of hours decanting.
Black fruits, smoke, tilled soil on the nose. Black fruits, plums, soil, and firm, but well integrated tannins on the palate. Medium drying finish, filled with black fruits. It is difficult to discern some of these Cahors malbec's from Bordeaux, but they perhaps posess bit less depth, lack graphite notes, and are a bit lighter in terms of body.
3/22/8/4/3 + 50 = 90 pts

Another excellent vintage of this great Cahors. Just a bit of Merlot and Tannat is blended with the Malbec. Deep purple color and firm structure, but the tannins are very balanced. Ripe Blue and Black fruit aromas and flavors with hints of leather, black licorice and tobacco. Drink now or hold. Excellent!
