Complex nose of blackberry, blueberry, and plum, with cocoa, violets, crushed rocks, and mint. Inky black, as one would expect a Cahors to be, with a gorgeous purple hue. On the palate, it shows intense black fruit flavors, grippy tannins, mineral and spice flavors, which continue in a long finish. Acidity balanced by moderate alcohol (12.5% abv), and assertive but rounded tannins make this an excellent food wine, but I enjoyed it equally before, during and after diner.
