Clos la Coutale Cahors 2023

 Andy Says: "Not far from Bergerac and Bordeaux lies Cahors, a historic region famous for Cot, better known toady as Malbec! the "black wines" of Cahors bear little resemblance to the plush fruit forward versions coming out of Argentina. Here, Malbec tends to be richer, more structured, more tannic and considerably earthier. Imported by Kermit Lynch and owned by the same family for 6 generations, Clos La Coutale is one of the benchmark wines of the region. Expect flavors of plum, black currant, leather, tobacco, and a distinctly earthy, woodsy character."
