Tasting - Château Plat Faisant Cahors Cuvée de l'Ancêtre

Name: Château Plat Faisant Cahors Cuvée de l'Ancêtre
Variety: Malbec
Country: France
Region: Cahors
Year: 2007
Price: $14.99

Tasting Notes:Hand harvested. 30% aged in new oak. Beautiful dark color, intense and complex bouquet of earthiness and spice. Full and round in the mouth, supported by very fine tannins.

My review: Very nice French wine! On the nose it was earthy with a very rich soily component.  Very good structure and balance all around.  The tannins were spot on along with the acidity.  The finish had a mixture of pleasant fruit with spices, namely anise.  This really epitomizes French wine in my opinion.  An all around decent table wine.

I had this wine without food.
