Community Tasting Note

geoffjb Does not like this wine:

Thursday, August 15, 2019 - A family gathering featuring our good friend Malbec: What better place to start a tasting of Malbec wines than Cahors? Or so we thought. The Seduction didn't offer much to pull us in. It was clear and deep purple, with a clear rim. It smelled clean with medium aromas of seaweed and bing cherry. On the palate the wine was clean, with mild flavours of cherry, blackberry, tobacco, and oak. The wine had low sweetness, low tannins, medium(-) acidity, and no real presence of alcohol. The body was light—surprising for a Malbec—and it had a short finish. Despite the fairly low acidity, I would describe this as tart.

This wine improved slightly when tasted with some Gruyère, but it's not one I would buy again.
