From one of our favourite vineyards in the Graves region of Bordeaux, this classic Claret is perfect for dinner parties or the occasional mid-week treat. The 2011 is perhaps a touch lighter than the 2010 but is all the more drinkable for that. It is deliciously complex on the nose with notes of briary fruit, spicy oak, a touch of leather & smoke. Typically ' Graves' on the palate, this has a seamless structure, generous fruit & an engaging sense of energy on the finish. 2011 is a charming vintage, for drinking now.
