Chateau la Coustarelle 2004

It's been a while since I had a Cahors, the last being a Chateau du Cedre, which were quite decent and interesting wines. Anyway this particular wine is a blend of 90% Malbec and 10% Tannat, and opened to a fairly locked bouquet, but did slowly reveal subdued aromas of blueberry, cream, vanilla and feint pepper. On the palate it was quite dense, with creamy pureed fruit over modest tannins. Structurally it was relatively loose, almost unfocused at times, however it did develop quite slowly. Overall quite an interesting example, but unlike the Chateau du Cedre it lacked structure. Recommend a big decant and slow consumption.
50+4+13+16+7 = 90/100
