  16/20…. Je lui ai enlevé un point car j’avais le goût de boire un bon Cahors avec le boudin noir à la rhubarbe…..
  Je suis désespéré de retrouver les Cahors d’antan.
  Celui-ci 100% malbec est très bon, n’en doutez pas MAIS ce n’est pas ce que j’attends d’un Cahors.
  Il a du fruit, une bonne acidité et à l’aveugle avec un Pigeon Hill, il serait difficile à démasquer. Ne vous méprenez pas non plus, j’aime le Pigeon Hill, c’est mon vignoble québécois préféré !

  Domaine visit 5/1/21, brief note. Aged 6 months in cement. Négoce grapes. Purple colour, nice clarity. Very expressive nose, cherry, violet, griottes, punchy and fun. Juicy palate, refreshing, tart red berries, light bodied, nice acidity. Smashable stuff!

  A generation ago opening a 1 year old Cahors would have been unthinkable but this one was delightful. It was quite full, exuberantly approachable and juicy at the same time as having a place specific savoury touch, earthiness and firm but well covered tannic backbone. Alas it was the last bottle on the shelf at the store and I have seen no replenishment. Good+.
