The first hit is blackcurrant, dark plum and cedar. Tobacco and earth bring the extra detail; the firm tannin gives it grip without taking over.
At the table: Bring out roast beef, lamb or hard cheese; nobody needs a tiny plate tonight. Blackcurrant keeps the wine generous while its structure meets the meat head-on.
Origin: St-Estephe, France
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
ABV: 13%
