Tasting notes

Deep violet-red colour. Fine nose of dark berries, ink with floral notes and a hint of mint. Fullbodied wine in the mouth with decent concentration. Fruit is tight and quite young and primary. Dark berried and inky. Good depth. Medium acidity and quite a tannic end. Slightly on the rustic side, but so is most Cahors. Give it 5 more years to open up. Good for the price.
