Lionel Osmin, Villa des Causses Malbec, 2021

Region: Côtes De Gascogne, South west, France

Dark, deep colour. Pleasant aroma of red fruits, black fruits and China ink. Woody notes as well, recalling juniper, nutmeg or cedar wood. Full, sumptuous mouth aroma, with silky tannins, the same as on the nose. Flavourful finish. A reassuring blend, polyvalent the way the "Réserve de Famille" was traditionally - to be opened on any occasion... hence the name for this blend. Great to pair with grilled meats or meat in sauce, cold cuts and soft cheeses.
