Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve Cahors Le Combal 2008
Most other experiences I've had with Cahors have been disappointing because of excessive use of oak. This one is different. This one is nice! The smell is quite undeveloped and inexpressive even after 3h open. But the palate is wonderful! So this is the famous black wine: powerful, tannic, big, chewy, meaty, yet actually very moreish and refreshing. Or is black wine a thing of a bygone age?
