Yet another bordeaux? I don't know what emkayess is talking about but Cahors is 70% Malbec and 30% Merlot Although the Chateau La Caminade is insipid and watery, not at all what I would expect, the Chateau La Caminade "La Commandery" 2003 is loaded with color-deep purple and rich-along with an unmistakeable nose of mint and chocolate. The mouth follows with this same flavor and follows through with dried plum and cherry tastes. Well balance if not a little drying on the finish. I expect this from Cahors though. Very interesting wine.
