Monthly Tasting Group HWS #115; Malbec Worldwide (By SB): See also my note from 2/8/2016. This bottle was more stinky and more mature. Chocolate, oak, sweet spices and still juicy freshness are some key words. Drink up before it is too late!

Weekly tasting group #203; Cahors and a few pirates from Argentina (@ SB): For everybody this was without any doubt the WOTN. Conclusion: good Cahors needs some serious ageing. Really beautiful and mature bouquet with dark berry fruits still, cedar, sweet spices, iodine and leather as well as a pleasant touch of barnyard. On the palate a pleasantly sweet start with ripe dark forest fruits, , leather, tobacco, forest floor, cinnamon and other sweet spices. Beautiful acidity and soft tannin. Very well balanced wine at its absolute peak now. Will probably stay at its peak for a few years, but no reason to wait any longer.

Noch sehr dunkel; angenehme, recht intensive, reife Nase; säurebetont, deutliches, aber weiches Tannin, rustikal; wird nicht mehr besser.

Reste tannique, sombre et sanguin. Pointe de rusticité et léger déficit de longueur.
