Chateau Du Caillau Cahors Malbec 2023
92 Points - Wine Enthusiast. Château du Caillau Cahors Malbec is a striking example of the “black wine” from the Lot. Deep, dark and immediately expressive, it combines the power and structure Cahors is famous for with a purity of fruit that makes it approachable even in its youth. Rated 92 points by Wine Enthusiast, this Malbec demonstrates the region’s capacity for rich, layered reds that balance intensity with finesse.
Taste
On the nose, expect black cherry, plum and subtle violet aromas, lifted by hints of spice and graphite. The palate is firm yet silky, with juicy dark fruit, cocoa and a touch of earthy minerality, finishing long and resonant. Succulent but structured, it’s a Malbec built to enjoy now or age gracefully for several years.
