Chateau Haut Barrail Medoc, Cru Bourgeois

A highly commended wine, consistently making Cru Bourgeois category year on year. Thirty-year-old vines and a predominance of Merlot gives Cyril Gillet's wine a good combination of concentration and fruitiness, with a bold structure from extended oak maturation.  A solid wine, juicy with blackcurrants, roasted almonds and floral, plummy tones. Just reaching it's drinking window now this has plenty of aging time in front of it. Top notch Sunday roast wine!
