Not your #argentina #malbec so fresh and drinkable #loire #cahors — 3 years ago

Methinks 2016 was a good year for this #cahors Château. Inky purple color in the glass. Allow for an hour to open up and take the edge of the tannins; then the nose opens up with black bramble fruit, cassis, slight baking spices, vanilla, molasses and yet still that classic Cahors earth / mushrooms. On the palate it continues that dark fruit, medium pleasing acidity plus coffee finishing with some muscular tannins and a long finish. It might be a touch hot at 14.5% ABV, but not egregiously so. A Château-bottled red from the ancestral home of #malbec for $7 at Costco. Lamb chops or a porterhouse would be a stellar pairing. — 6 years ago

From Cahors in Southwest France, this 100% Malbec is pleasantly good for under $20. Showing initial black currant and plum on the palate, the time in French oak barrels has allowed the fruit to integrate nicely with the wood, leather and smokey layers, felt in the mouth. It's a rich, juicy and well structured wine at this price point.

Lots of kick to this bad boy, a strong wine - needs to be paired with beef or lamb, something that can tame the beast. :-) — 10 years ago

First-rate QPR #cahors #malbec #merlot (70%/30%) blend. Nose considerably fruitier than the previous vintages I’ve found at #costco which were 100% Malbec. The merlot brings ripe bramble fruit on the nose followed by earthy undertones. Succulent acidity on the palate right up front, black berries following with some dark chocolate, forest floor, leather notes. Hearty tannins linger on the finish and build with each sip. QPR is way up there for under $9. — 3 years ago

Immaculate aromas of rich tobacco, raspberry reduction and purest blackberry with sweet cedar and Madagascar vanilla, with violets, roses, and mint. Black currant, blackberry, graphite, concentrated forest notes of pinecone, bramble, baker’s chocolate, licorice, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, cedar, Jamaican tobaccos, dried violets, Roobios, and iron minerality. #chateauhauteserre #icone #cahors #frenchwinescholar #frenchred #malbec #swfrance — 7 years ago

Very good #Malbec with excellent typicity both of the grape and the region #cahors ideal for educational purposes — 8 years ago

Inky, inky black color with rim to rim coverage. Dark melted chocolate with blackberries swimming, but less sweet than you are imagining. There is cinnamon, a caramelized, dehydrated plantain, almond extract, mocha grounds, and mahogany in abundance ethereally. Medium mouthfeel is the initial indicator of this wines pronounced balance, despite its varietal reputation. Dried currants, smoky, dry blackberry, cedar and a deep Madura tobacco and dusty cardamom, coriander and lavender with burnt citrus oils, and thick dark veils of iron and tallow suspended in smoking earth. It is hard to describe the dark, universe of beauty this wine embodies. Exceptional and profound.

Brilliant #Cahors. Love revisiting this bottle.
Dark, almost opaque color with little room to the edge. Nose is rose on top of rose on top of raspberry. Palate taste of wet flower petals, strawberry licorice and slight mint. Tannins are quick and fragile due to the age. Peaking. — 10 years ago

70% #malbec 30% #merlot - complex, earthy nose; palate features dark fruit compote, otherwise very shy fruit with leather, smoked meat, coffee with chewy tannins. #cahors — 6 years ago

Haven’t tasted in three years. The mineral component has become more defined and pervasive: powderized rocks and black iron. Bitter almond, prunes and blackstrap. And still no stinking Merlot. #cahors #malbec — 8 years ago

Vintage 2008 This #malbec #cahors wine has a lot to offer: nice red fruit in a promising nose, fair roundness and balance in an excellent and very fresh taste. What a good cuvee this is... — 9 years ago

Vinovalie 'Astrolabe' #Malbec #Cahors. Inviting aromas of currant jam, bramble and plum mixed with cedar, tobacco and toasted oak. Oak seems a little heavy for the fruit intensity and overwhelms a bit. Moderate dusty tannins. #wine #cahorsmalbec #sommelier #sommlife — 11 years ago
