<strong>
Roussille 1993 "Le Clos du Chêne" Cahors ($9.99)</strong></p>
There's been a lot of talk among wine lovers about the way that Cahors, the old "black wine" made from Malbec grapes in Southwestern France, has lost its soul in these times of modern mass-production wine-making. Not this one … Very dark ruby color. Deep black-fruit and spicy oak aromas with mint and herbal notes. Big, mouth-filling fruit flavor, almost "chewy" in texture, with warm, plummy fruit and clean acidity in good balance. A touch of pleasant "green" herbaceousness shows up as a whiff of fresh-cut hay in the finish. Made a great match with a garlicky roast leg of lamb. Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, Pa.
