The 2003 French Cahors is pleasant, consistent Malbec from Georges Vigouroux that is hard to beat for $12. The region is an ancient wine region renowned for it's dark black wines in the Southwest of France. It is a blended wine made primarily with Malbec. Wines from this area have rustic, dark, full flavors that are perfect for the coming winter. Imagine drinking this beautiful bottle in front of a wood fire with a dinner of steak and potatoes. That's my approach anyway.
I love this wine. Even though 2003 was an extremely hot vintange in Europe, the heat wave did good things for many wines. In this wine you get deep color, aromas of blackberry and wood. Still young, this is a big wine with an acidic tightness. I've had it before and will again. Aging wouldn't hurt it either.
