Chateau La Tour de By, Medoc, Bordeaux 2014

Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Merlot 35%, Petit Verdot 5%

V

In the mood for something a little trad and refined? Well, it’s time to crash into some old school Claret. Classic left bank (Médoc) Bordeaux with eight years on the clock (three in barrique) at a fabulous price. Cabernet dominant, you get blackberries, plums, light cassis, refreshing cedar and warming spice. The tannins are fine, the structure reassuring.
