2007 Clos Manou Medoc

Now this is how Bordeaux is supposed to taste! Ripe enough to appeal to New World fans while retaining that inimitable undertone of Bordeaux soil, it’s a brilliant mélange of dark fruits, roasted espresso, barrel char and graphite. Make no mistake, this is definitely a French wine, but it has a certain pep to its step that’s normally only found with big boy price tags. We approve!
