Château Lagrézette 2005 Cuvée Dame Honneur Malbec (Cahors)

Country: France / Cuvée Dame Honneur
Variety: Malbec Southwest France
Winery: Château Lagrézette / Cahors

When some of the greatest Cahors weigh in at 13.5% alcohol, there is no need for this 15.5% monster. It’s a shame, because there is much to admire here, with the powerful bitter chocolate and the sweetest berry fruits, a wall of polished concentration. It needs aging for four years at least.
