24 year old bottle of Cahors, leave it to Kermit Lynch to find such age worthy wine. We decanted this for an hour and had with a recipe for Hanger Steak, Cherry Tomatoes and Chimichurri sauce from Suzanne Goin (chef/restaurateur from LA). Food and wine were a great match.

A very rich garnet cum ruby red with just the merest hints of youth. A pleasant clean nose - perhaps a bit on the dull side. Very pleasant attack: clean and rounded. Fills with some tannin, then finishes with lots of tannin, some of it remarkably bitter. But the fruit does just about fight through. A fairly old fashioned Cahors. Pretty good all round, but without any particular distinction. Very chewy. Very Good.

Toast, hard to consume, filled with acid and very little fruit.
