Château de Cénac 2010 Eulalie Malbec (Cahors)
- $54
This top cuvée made by the Pelvillain family shows typical black Malbec color, and it has an opulent texture that’s packed with notes of rich spice, black plum and balanced wood. While the tannins are present, the fruit offers a full, rich character. With its concentration, this will benefit from several years of aging.

Black in color, this rich and dense wine shows powerful black fruits, the tannins forming a dusty core. The vintage has given a wine that is superripe and concentrated, with chocolate and some burnt character from wood. Age for 3–4 years.

- Online Exclusive
- $40
Although there is an obvious wood element, it doesn’t intrude too much into the fine and concentrated fruit of this spicy, juicy wine, the top cuvée from Cénac. There is an attractive smoky character alongside dry and dusty tannins, although the wine reveals a richer character as it opens up.

A very mineral wine, with a lean and flinty character, tight tannins and suppressed fruit. The result is the need for several years of aging to bring out some weight and fruit. The potential is here.
