  Very deep and complex wine. Rich leather, black pepper, earthiness. Fantastic price; wish I'd bought more!

  Drinking incredibly well right now (Nov 2018). So well balanced on the nose and palate. Nose has dust and earth, a bit of pleasant olive / vegetal, a core of dark fruit, and a touch of menthol. Palate has cassis, chalk / stone, and menthol again. Perfect mild / moderate acid and tannins. I am really enjoying this one.

  Wine Dojo - Week 18 - Off 'Bord'way (Elissa's Place): Tasted Blind(ish)
  
  A: Deep ruby. High viscosity.
  N: Medium (+) nose. EARTH, licorice, EUCALYPTUS, blueberry, cassis, cherry, vanilla, SMOKE, tobacco, baking spice, coffee. Developing
  P: Dry, medium (+) acid, high tannin, medium (+) intensity, high alcohol, full body, long finish.
  C: Can drink now but has potential for aging. Very Good to Outstanding Quality wine. Its a beautiful example of what Malbec can achieve. I was very excited by this. Good QPR at $20
  
  GUESSES:
  Color, type of fruit and eucalyptus said Malbec but far more refined and complex than its Argentinan sibling.

  Oog: Helder, vol, granaat rood, matige doorzichtigheid, gevulde meniscus, grote viscositeit, licht gekleurde tranen.
  Neus: Zuiver, matig tot vol, aroma van kers, bosbes, beetje vanile, kruidig (peper, laurier, nootmuskaat, kruidnagel) thee, rokerig.
  Mond: Evenwicht tussen zuren en molligheid met zachte tannine vanwege het ouderen. Niet langer meer bewaren dan 2018.

  Disappointingly oaky and international and overpriced at CDG airport shop, 23 EUR. Colour less black than much Cahors. The oak wafted out of the glass on first sniff. Quite full bodied palate with some nice round fruit and decent acidity but oak patina and nothing that said Cahors or even Malbec. Only fair.
