2009 Clos La Coutale, Cahors

Clos La Coutale, Cahors
Clos de Coutale is a rare beast; a Cahors which combines a noble and tannic history with modern, fruity accessibility, achieved by blending the indigenous Auxerrois grape (better known as Malbec)with the more familiar Merlot. This wine succeeds because it maintains something of the classic Cahors rigour but adds an attractive almost velvety texture. Calvinistic austerity in a Cardinal’s robes in other words.

Clos La Coutale, Cahors
We were a little suprised when BBR guided us to taste this as one of the first reds, knowing what a bruiser Cahors can be. But the advice was sound  as this is about as charming as Cahors gets. It's got power together with a soft smokiness and a savoury , paprika-tinged thanks to a generous helping of Merlot added to the Malbec fruit. The rustic approachability of the tannin and structure here gives overall impression of elegance to what can sometimes be a bit of a fork and knifestyle of a wine.
