Country: France Region: Bordeaux  Varietal: 35% Merlot 60% Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 5% Vintage: 2016 Colour: Red Style: Dry Producer: Chateau de La Coste  Description: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend. Aged in oak and carefully blended, this delicious claret is consistently good, with ripe supple fruit and soft tannins. Although it is already drinking well, allow half an hour for the wine to breathe after removing the cork, or cellar for up to five years. Tasting Note: Wonderful ripe cherry fruit and seductive hints of chocolate and oak, make this wine particularly impressive. Charming, round and opulent, it has a velvety texture.  Food Matches: Beef Fillet, Lamb, Chicken Thomas Barton
