9.1

Very grapey, classic Malbec nose with dark berry fruit, a little spice, black pepper and just enough funk to keep it interesting. The palate is juicy, silky and easy to drink, with good fruit, real grip and nicely refined tannins. Classically structured, dry and well made, with solid freshness and balance. Not the most complete or deeply layered wine, but a very good, straightforward Cahors and a nice drop. Overnight this really came together. It gained richness, depth and mid-palate volume, becoming much more mouthfilling and complete while keeping its freshness and grip. The extra harmony pushes it from 9.0 to 9.1.
