Cahors|Red wine

3.2/5 (18 customers)

Rating: 2**(Outstanding Wine) + Editor’s Choice in the 2009 Hachette Wine Guide
“A wine full of charm and smoothness. The elegant nose reveals aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant, accompanied by a hint of menthol and a touch of spice. The palate, full-bodied and well-structured, continues in the same vein, with hints of dried fruit” ( Guide Hachette des Vins 2009). An unpretentious, versatile wine that charms with its pleasant fruitiness and roundness. An affordable delight to enjoy right now...
