Easy drinking from a great vintage. Give this one half an hour or so in a decanter to allow its true colours to shine, and you won’t be disappointed. Notes of vanilla, blackberries, and with a hint of oak, the tannins and acidity are noticeable, but, with a bit of time, they balance out as a perfect mid-week quaffer.
Will cellar up to 8 years.
4 Stars, Joelle Thomson, Wine Writer "Wines labelled as Bordeaux Superieur are intended to be a step up and are made from approximately 10% of the grapes grown in the entire Bordeaux region. The entire region has about 111,000 hectares of vines, of which just over 11,000 are marked for producing Bordeaux Superieur wines – mostly red. This wine lives up to its name with ripe plush, fruity flavours and softness with a fresh, lingering finish."
