Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux

Medium

Cork

Friendly and upfront, this has clean fruit with cooling acidity at the fore but also quite present tannins that give a bit of mass to the expression. It’s not as soft and supple as some but there’s nothing harsh here and I like the freshly picked strawberry aspect. Ends with tobacco, black chocolate and liquorice. A serious wine that will be lovely in a year or two. 10% Cabernet Franc completes the blend.
