shewhomustThe Guardian's wine writer, Victoria Moore, describes a bottle of wine:
If this makes you want to drink it, it's Château du Cèdre Le Prestige 2002 and, depending who you buy it from, it costs something over £10. I'll be sticking to the vins de Brulhois, a near neighbour of Cahors at a fraction of the price.
It is one of the very best, an award-winner, and the vinous equivalent of a whole roasted lamb at a French village fete. It's quite a modern style of Cahors, made with 90-95% malbec; it is fabulously dark coloured and powerful, and smells of cedar and Christmas cake, with firm tannins around which sweet raspberry and fig fruit seem to weave like a sleek cat twisting about your legs.
