Tasted by:
(at Decanter Magazine's January 2015 issue Cahors Panel Tasting, 16 Oct 2014)
Drinking Window: 2016 - 2024
Dense colour, beautifully scented with liquorice spice, incense and black fruit. Very rich, dense and concentrated, yet enough acidity to give limpidity and freshness. Balanced and long, with a chewy but not tough finish.
