The “Le Prestige” Cahors from Château du Cedre is made of 90% malbec and 10% tannat. Dark purple in colour. Nose of liquorice, tobacco, leather and dark cherries - hint of game?
In the mouth the tannins were slightly drying and seemingly able to chew threw them. Acid was balanced and well integrated. Delicate flavours of plum, dark cherries and bitter chocolate.
Complex, muscular and great persistence of flavour. Well structured and balanced.
Ideal with hard cheese (cheddar on toast for a light dinner in my case) - might work well with parmesan polenta? Drink now or over the next year or two.
Great value for around $30 and highly recommended.
