2008 CHÂTEAU DU CÈDRE Cahors Pascal Verhaeghe
| Grapes: Malbec Tannat | Origin: France, South West |
Lea & Sandeman review
What used to be called 'Prestige', this is the Chateau's own production. 90% Malbec and 10% Tannat aged in a combination of first, second and third year oak. Sensational wine this, full bodied, richly tannic, but in a very attractive and drinkable fashion, and immensely satisfying. Very real in every way.| Purchasing options | |||||||

2011 DUROU 'EXCEPTION' MALBEC Fabrice Durou
Vin de France France
"From an estate in the Cahors region but sold as 'Vin de France'. Simple but perfect in its way, very black and glossy and fresh and full. The nose is generous, the palate ample and soft with just enough of a kicker of substance to make it juicy with blackberry and blackcurrant, and still easy to have another glass."

2010 ARUMA Bodegas Caro
Mendoza Argentina
"Pure Malbec from Mendoza. Ruby to purple, deep bright colour. Pure bright cherry fruit on a nose which conveys a soft fullness as well. The fleshy softness is the main impression in the mouth, at least to begin with, but the fruit has added spice and crunch. Fine-grained tannins extend the finish with this cherry-skin feel. Quite chunky but the brightness makes it really interesting and drinkable. Will certainly keep out some of the February chill."
