Château Combel la Serre, Les Peyres Levades, Malbec, Cahors, 2015

Dense and brooding aromas which would have me crying ”Brunello!” if this were a blind tasting.

It certainly has a rustic Tuscan vibe, with dried beef, oregano, bay leaf, stewed plump and black cherry. Divinely dry with a graphite minerality and luscious mouthfeel and plenty of weight, despite the modest 13% ABV…meaning you can drink more of it!
