December 26, 2023 - Over two days.
Quite fresh for moderately aged Cahors. Leaning modern and somewhat heavy overall, with too much oak treatment. This aside, bold, well structured, and gripping.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 29, 2019 - This was truly one of the weirdest wines I've popped.
Day 1 opening: I could have sworn it tasted/smelled like a musty basement. Like maybe some infiltration. Was quite nasty. A sink spitter.
Day 2, morning: Poured into decanter in the morning.
Day 2, afternoon: After 5 hours, hmmm, could this be palatable?
Day 2, evening: 13 hours of decant. Amazing. Quite drinkable. Never had a malbec go through so many incantations. Quite fruity. Mustiness gone.
Day 2, late evening: Finished it with the lovely wife.
I rated it probably lower than most would. Just didn't feel the initial smell and taste warranted a higher rating.

April 4, 2018 - A very good modern Cahors showing medium/full body, quite rich red and dark fruit, good depth, suave texture and good acidity leading to a firm finish with ripe tannins. My only reservation is lack of Cahors typicity. Very good though.

August 8, 2017 - WSET Level 3 Award for Wine Course; 8/7/2017-8/11/2017 (West London Wine School): deep ruby, with intense notes of blackcurrant, cassis, liquorice, dark chocolate, tobacco; still need some more years in bottle

June 9, 2017 - Earthy nose. Smooth on the palate with high acidity and medium tannins. Could use more depth, but still very well-balanced.
