1 hour air. Classic Cahors: heavy chocolate nose with subdued plum aromas. Plentiful but very soft tannins make this surprisingly gentle. You feel the 14.8% abv with the heavy mouthfeel although this does not taste particularly hot. Big, robust, straightforward. Probably should be consumed fairly soon - fully mature, not yet in decline but no reason to keep it in the cellar longer. Score: 90. Relative to expectations: +
