A very nice bottle indeed! Lots of fruit, lots of power and intensity! Dark fruit (blueberry, blackberry) herbs and some licorice. The tannins still bite back, but with all the fruit they are needed and welcomed. There is enough acidity and the length is outstanding. Peaking now?

Perfect now! Deep purple-red color. Very intense and complex on the nose with blackberry, some cedars and maturity tones (slight leather). Lots of power in the mouth. One of the best wines I’ve had from Cahors.

great colour, a deep, thick, luscious purple. this foretold the deep and persistent flavours. rich and dark fruits, a little spice and nice tannins. not surprisingly it opened up quite a bit over the evening. hopefully i'll be able to pick up another bottle to take home and age for a few years. there was a tiny bit of warmth from the 16% alcohol but the wine was really harmonious, everything was in balance.

We thought we'd give this wine a try even though it should last for many years. I'm glad we have a few more in the cellar. The inky red color was matched by the deep fruit extraction. This was balanced with soft tannins and smoke. The velvety texture lingered on the palette. It was great with food and great to sip after dinner was over.

Luscious and delicious! Dark red/purple. Moderate tannins. Long, sustained finish.
