TASTING NOTE: Wines labeled Bordeaux Supérieur can be grown anywhere in Bordeaux and must be aged at least nine months. This one blends 70% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot and is showing lovely earthy, leather and licorice notes along with cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant. Stunning value. Drink through 2021 with rack of lamb and braised fennel. (Vintages panel, April 2017) |
