  Hand-carried back from the Chateau last year to the US, and this bottle was the absolute hit of a recent dinner party. Shows how terrific the better Chateaux can be from Cahors, showcasing the blackberry/plum flavors of the grape, the unique terroir of the Lot Valley, and generational winemaking devoted to this grape. Unlike the South American and US versions of Malbec, there is lots of balance, flavor and terroir in the original, and it's clear why this region was dominate for hundreds of years for the "black grape". A good textbook lesson in the quality (and value) of great Old World versions of popular grapes.
