I’ve been a fan of this wine for at least a decade and a half, a malbec of class and character, depth and substance, that manages to seamlessly blend the old world rusticity of Cahors with the new world fruitiness of Argentina/Mendozan versions for a very compelling and complex expression overall. Tannins are abundant but polished, but it’s the extra dimension of the palate that sets this apart. Excellent length. Many Bordeaux would kill for the depth and complexity at the price. Tasted
