Paul Bertrand 2011 Crocus Grand Vin Malbec (Cahors)

Country: France / Crocus Grand Vin
Variety: Malbec Southwest France
Winery: Paul Bertrand / Cahors

Aged 100% in new wood, this is a wine produced as a joint venture between California vintner Paul Hobbs and Cahors producer Bertrand Vigouroux. It is a major, powerful statement, rich and dense. The texture smoothes out the natural structure of Cahors Malbec to give a silky wine, the tannins in suspension in the black plum fruits. It will be better from 2017.
