Wonderfully opulent and perfumed on the nose with dollops of honey allied to blossom and spicy complexity. The palate is rich and full again with great acidity, giving the wine and exceptional balance, and we suspect longevity.
Good ruby red colour. Ripe, serious aromas of currant, chocolate, liquorice and Provençal herbs. Fat and dense but fresh and stylish, with a lively mineral quality and solid ripe acidity. Finishes with very smooth tannins.
Full bodied and deep with flavours of smoke, kirsch and cherry like fruit. Well developed with well rounded, ripe tannins and a rich, powerful, velvety finish.
This old-vine 100% Malbec is meant to be the quintessence of Cahors, and no other Cahors I have ever tasted evidences such concentration and intensity.
