Blend
Malbec: The king of Cahors, offering powerful, structured wines rich in black fruit and spicy aromas.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep purple with violet highlights, reflecting the wine’s youth and concentration.
Nose: Highly expressive, dominated by blackcurrant, blackberry, and blueberry aromas, with hints of licorice, violet, and a limestone-driven minerality. Subtle spicy and lightly oaked notes emerge as the wine opens up.
Palate: Powerful and well-structured, with firm yet silky tannins. Black fruit flavors persist on the palate, complemented by spicy and mineral notes. The well-integrated acidity provides freshness and balance, leading to a long, character-filled finish.
Aging Potential
This wine can be enjoyed now for its vibrant fruit, but it also has an excellent aging potential of 10 to 15 years, during which it will develop more complex aromas of undergrowth, leather, and truffle.
