Tasting note

Cahors Malbec should present black cherry, plum and blackberry with a firm, earthy aromatic edge. The 2018 Les Camille is expected to feel concentrated but balanced, ripe fruit meeting fresh acidity and firm tannins that lend the palate a lightly grippy texture. Beyond its peak but inside the listed window through 2028, it should finish with dark berry, dry spice and a subtle mineral note.
