Prieuré de Cenac 2018
From a vineyard at one of the highest points of Cahors, this wine is impressive in both richness and mineral structure. Big tannins permeate the wine and demand time to soften. When they do, this wine will shine. Drink from 2022.
Latis Grande Reserve Malbec 2018
Latis, in the local dialect, means light and this wine pays homage to the luminous skies of Cahors. Mind you, there are only dark colors in this wine that accord with the dense tannins and rich black fruits. Still young and developing a balance between fruit and structure, the wine needs to age. Drink from 2023.
