Berry Bros & Rudd, Good Ordinary Claret (Magnum), 2015

Aromas of black pepper and bacon fat on the nose lead into a supple palate, smooth and ripe, with tight flavours of blackberry, cherry and a hint of blueberry. There's a woody, slightly earthy, tobacco-led character which comes out on the mid-palate, and it has a good finish, although a good decant should open up the fruit even more. Savoury.
