Jean-Luc Baldès 2006 Clos Triguedina The New Black Wine Malbec (Cahors)

Country: France / Clos Triguedina The New Black Wine
Variety: Malbec Southwest France
Winery: Jean-Luc Baldès / Cahors

By heating part of the must before vinification, Jean-Luc Baldès has revived the medieval way of making Cahors, when it was know as the black wine. It gives, literally, black colored wine, with flavors of stewed prunes allied to intense, dry tannins. Red berries add freshness, but this is more jelly, cooked fruits and darkness.
