Tasted by: Stephen Brook, Ben Llewellyn, Anthony Rose
(at Decanter Magazine's January 2015 issue Cahors Panel Tasting, 16 Oct 2014)
Drinking Window: 2016 - 2020
Assertive and distinctly oaky nose, so it's hard to find the fruit. Fairly rich, solid, tannic and robust, but lacks flair and freshness. There is some acidity but it's raw.
