Le Gouleyant Malbec 2013

Cahors, Sud-Ouest, FranceTobacco and light smoke filter through the juicy black plum and leather leading this malbec, strengthened by sinewy tannins and plumped with ripe cherry and sweetly herbal raspberry fruit. The rusticity of the tannins sticks out on the finish, outlasting the fruit, and leaving an ashen note and a curl of heat. The Vigouroux family was a pioneering force in Cahors, making wine there since 1887, and re-establishing ancient vineyard sites after phylloxera wiped out the area.Tasted: 25 July 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
