Tasted by:
(at Decanter Magazine's January 2015 issue Cahors Panel Tasting, 16 Oct 2014)
Drinking Window: 2015 - 2024
Quite austere on the nose giving the impression of restraint and brooding reluctance. Plump, sleek, very concentrated, with imposing yet fine-grained tannins. You will reap the rewards after cellaring for 3-6 years.
