Tasting Note

Deep purple, with touches of fuchsia on the rim. An intense malbec displaying aromas of red cherry, blueberry, rose petal, ripe Italian plum, black liquorice and spice box. The palate is concentrated and bright, cascading with focused flavours of black cherry, red plum, milk chocolate, talc and hints of butterscotch and star anise, supported by fine-grained tannins.

Product Notes

Crocus Le Calcifère Malbec is a sublime French wine, emanating from the picturesque terrains of Cahors. Possessing a compelling, deep crimson hue, it captures the senses with an intoxicating array of dark fruit aromas, underpinned with hints of mineral and spice. The palate reveals flavours of fresh black cherry, plum, and hints of cocoa. Poised tannins and a luscious mouthfeel yield a well-honed structure, expressed gracefully from beginning to end. Aged on its lees with frequent stirring, the complex earthy finish invites one for another sip. Ideal for intimate occasions and fine dining, it's a certain toast to the refined palate.
