  Well balanced, acid minus. Good structure but lacks charm.

  FWS Bordeaux and Southwest tasting 2020; 7/21/2020-7/22/2020: This wine is just starting to open up. Cahors often need 10+ years to settle down, and even this wine at $20 needs years to really drink properly.
  
  Dark fruit driven with some bloody and roasted meat aromas. This is still a baby, just starting to hit its drinking window but likely will not peak for a decade.
  
  I like wine with age, but if you want a young fruity red Cahors may not be the place to look. If you want something that can age for 20+ years and still only cost $20 it's a great place to look.

  Still plenty of life left in this wine. Rich and interesting to drink with Easter roast lamb.

  Despite the Kermit Lynch endorsement, we found this wine close to undrinkable. Dark, dense, octopus black-ink color. Very closed showing more bramble than berry. Sharp, narrow and tannic in the mouth. Think chunky. The finish is more a punch than a sweet kiss goodbye. Given the plethora of drinkable, fun, food friendly wines under $20.00, this wine should be pushed to the back of the shelf. Pick any region of the world and you'll find at least 10 other choices that should be put ahead of the list.

  Smooth and quite restraint. Quite the opposite when tasted 2 years ago. Aroma and flavour profiles are similar with dark fruits (blackcurrants, black cherries, plum), oak and earthy spice. Medium bodied, well integrated tannins and alcohol. Good balance.
