NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Crocus Grand Vin Malbec de Cahors is a deep ruby-purple colored wine that displays an inviting nose of blackberry compote, dark chocolate, espresso, and dried herbs.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and silky, with a juicy core of dark fruit flavours complemented by a subtle hint of smokiness and smoky oak. The finish is long and persistent, with the lingering notes of cocoa and black pepper. An excellent expression of Cahors Malbec, this wine is a superb pairing for grilled meats and game.
