Château du Cèdre 2012 GC Malbec (Cahors)

Country: France / GC
Variety: Malbec Southwest France
Winery: Château du Cèdre / Cahors

While this is the top wine of a major Cahors estate, it is impressive how restrained it is. Sure, the wood and dense brooding black fruits are there, but they have been subtly controlled by the freshness of the wine and its great balance. With its richness, still youthful fruit and its structure it will need aging. Drink from 2020.
