Pop the cork and you can expect deep ruby colour and a nose full of ripe bramble, cassis, and black cherries, all lifted by a touch of mint and warm spice from oak ageing. On the palate it’s full-bodied and structured – generous with dark berry fruit, soft acidity and those classic Bordeaux tannins that make it very food friendly. Decant for a couple of hours to let it open up and you’ll be rewarded with a long, elegant finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry this with a sunday roast, roast duck with root veg, aubergine parmigiana or simply a bit of mature cheddar or aged Comté\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This one’s a bit of a showstopper for the money. It’s got that plush, ripe fruit you want in a modern Bordeaux, but still feels proper and grown-up. One to crack open with a roast or keep back for a birthday dinner – just give it a bit of air and it’ll do the rest.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eChateau Puybarbe produce well-balanced wines that express their terroir mixing tradition and modernity.
