Dark purple, ruby colour. Rich, velvety berries taste but firm enough to give good finish. Very enjoyable, especially for the price and hope to find some more.

Robustly tasty and virile, very similar to the bottle on which I wrote a TN about a year ago but perhaps better integrated with more raspberry in the fruit. Great QPR at c.7€ and hopefully there is some still left at the store.

Mild aromatics with a cool styled fresh tasting cedar & cranberries. Very drinkable in an old world style. Better suited for pheasant than the salmon i am having for dinner.

Picked up a half bottle for $9 to try out for those lunchtime moments, and with the wife preggers again, these come in handy over the short term. Purplish ruby color with some transparency. Aromas of soil, wet slate, green pepper, dusty cherry and darker fruits, and some root vegetables like beets and radishes; maybe a little celery too. Medium body, medium(+) acid, medium finish, and flavors of black cherry, plum, lemon and orange peel, radish, Earl grey tea, and oak spice. Minimally grippy tannins that are providing a little structure, but not in the way of enjoyment—this seems more drink now than later to me. Worked well with meatloaf leftovers. 86-87

Gouleyant as always anyone looking for a heavy black wine is missing the point . Cahors comes in different styles and this is fresh and a super sausage and mash wine

shy on the nose with hints of bark, cherry and earth, dry, has a freshness that is propelled by juiciness, bursting with black cherry, blackberry, baked raspberry, herb and plum, this is a nice match with braised shortribs

Sweet powdery sugar confection. Fun, but is this what Cahors is supposed to taste like? I suspect it's an old world wine trying to play to the new world... Won't open another one for quite some time. I was really hoping it would be earthy...

Transparent ruby purple, earthy nose that is a bit hot at first, dry and earthy palate with blackberry, wet herbs, hint of a barnyard funk on a medium finish. Not bad just not a style of Malbec we enjoy. Where's the round juicy fruit?
I still marvel at being able not only to drink but, more important, to enjoy a two year old Cahors. It would have been unthinkable 20 years ago. Colour more transparent and not quite so black as some. Nose typically Cahors but hard to describe, perhaps a mix of savoury bright black fruit, earth, wet leather and olives with a touch of anise and liquorice. Palate medium+ bodied, virile and sinewy, replaying the aromas from the nose with an underlying roundness of fruit which no doubt owes something to 15% Merlot in the blend with fresh acidity and firm backbone. Good wine and stunning QPR at €7.

Light fruitiness on the nose. Dry, earthy wine with medium tannins and hints of tea leaves and oak. Pairs well with a nice cheddar and green grapes. Great value for under $15.

Monday Night Blinds (Home (Noe st)): (non-blind - I brought this) m- ruby purple to a magenta rim (light color!) malbec fruit - dirty weedy blackberry and rotting orange slices/orange peel. Reminds me of the Achaval Ferrer. Is this varietal Malbec? Stemmy herbaceousness. Slight manure/barnyard. med + body med + alcohol (actually 13.5%) med + acid med + tannins - chocolatey and rustic and papery in nature. slight bitter dark chocolate on the finish- neutral oak. Decent! Relatively clean. Damp earth and forest floor. pretty good.

It's been open a couple of hours. Dark fruity nose, a bit of barnyard on the palate but delicious. Light tannins.

Perfect everyday wine. Easy to drink with anything. Not too fruity or jammy, nice smoky undertones and dry finish.

Very clean and bright color and lovely fruit nose. Complex with hints of smoke and tobacco beyond the fruit, lovely.

A beautiful dark, inky wine with some earth and dark fruit flavors. A good value.
