Bordeaux Supérieur

Medium

Cork

Gorgeous nose, ripe and scented full of dark chocolate and blackcurrants. Smooth and charming, round and balanced with a lovely joyous sweet side to the strawberry and red cherry fruit on the palate. Mouthwatering acidity is there keeping things lively but the ripe, chewy fruit and sticky black liquorice edges takes centre stage with the hint of grip from the tannis just giving the structure underneath. Confident and striking. This is no wallflower but I love it's expression. A very well-delivered wine, especially for the price, from the estate owned by Maison Sichel since 2002 and located 60km south of Bordeaux in Saint-André-du Bois. Blend of 63% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon. HVE3 certified. The 2017 vintage of this wine is also very appealing offering more cool and classic Claret markers - a nice alternative to the plushness of the 2018.
