Very pale garnet, tending towards a rosé. No artifacts or cloudiness. Nose is defined by bright red fruits and berries, with a hint of camphor and pine resin. Palate is fresh, with some residual sugar, moderately high acidity, and very subdued tannins.
Lovely, but not really a winter wine 😊

Slightly cloudy, dark lemon. Not a hint of green in the colour.
Sour apple and lemon zest on the nose. Mouth is still fresh, but there was marked oxidation. Not faulty, just past its peak.
I further fumbled the consumption of this former hero by drinking it with a crab dinner. The pairing did it no favours whatsoever. On its own, though, it was perfectly serviceable - I don't mind a bit of an oxidation.

Drinking beautifully right now.
Perfect deep ruby with solid rim, minimal sediment in the bottle.
Decanted and let it evolve over the course of the evening. Perfectly open at around 90 minutes to two hours.
On the nose, all the dark fruit and deep greens to expect from the Cahors. Red plum, creamy nettle soup, dark maraschino cherries.
Palate is full, fresh and still upright. Aftertaste is not too long, but very moreish.
