Life is too short to drink bad wine

This is a 100% Malbec from Cahors in southern France. Despite it's nearly 14 years it is drinking quite well. Smell of dark ripe berries and a nice taste of ripe fruit with some herbs. The wine is of course not as "dynamic" as a young Malbec or a younger version of this chateau, but it is still good value for money. Ca 12€ or 150 NOK.

This wine from Clos Triguedina in Cahors belongs to a category I would describe as "Black wine". It's of course red but oh so dark colour and smell. I tasted this 2006 called Prince Probus (100% Malbec) en primeur and it was one of the few en primers I actually liked. Finally 6 bottles have been brought back to Norway and tried out. Lovely dark colour and smell of black fruit and vanilla. Big solid taste with firm tannins that have started to softened. A big wine!
