Coravin fun - Bordeaux (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Slightly meaty umami notes accompany red over black hued fruits, toast, biscuit notes and, with time, the fruit gets more jubey. The jubey note translates to the palate offering fruit generosity, fresh acidity, tannins are drying but quite silky textured, a little toast and biscuit joins on the finish, balanced, yum

Nice, correct, petite chateau Bordeaux from a "lesser" but somewhat classic vintage. These are quite correct, and were shockingly cheap, but I seldom find myself wanting them anymore. That is on me, however, and not a knock on the wine. Feels like a good choice for a roast chicken.

Where you’d expect it to be at 10 years, entering its drinking window. Still primary bramble fruit, soft and easy - vintage is a lightish one. Drink,or keep.

It is over two years since I posted a note for the wine, and I wanted to emphasise that this is still delivering at the top of its game. Along with Bernadotte, it is my cru bourgeois of choice for everyday drinking, and to be honest puts a lot of prestigious second wines to shame at a fraction of the price. At 10 years of age this now can be popped and poured and is showing mature integrated notes and good depth and balance. This is just such exceptional value, ( I bought 15 cases for £12 a bottle tax and duty included, ).
