This opens on blackcurrant, plum and cedar. Smoke and graphite bring the extra detail; the firm tannin gives it grip without taking over.
At the table: Put steak or hard cheese in front of it and let the wine stretch out. The meat softens the tannin and pulls plum forward, so both the food and the wine come out better.
Origin: Pessac-Leognan, France
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
