Tasting notes

Alright, so you pop this open, and first thing you'll notice is that lovely, mature Bordeaux smell – think cedar, a bit of tobacco, maybe some dried blackcurrant. It’s not fruity and jammy; it’s got that elegant, savoury thing going on.

Take a sip, and it’s smooth, with those tannins all softened out. You get a nice mix of dark fruit, earthy notes, and a hint of spice. It’s got a good structure, but it’s super drinkable now. Seriously, this is the kind of wine that just makes you go 'ahhh' with a good steak or some roasted lamb. Proper grown-up wine, but totally friendly.
