Pezat Rouge Bordeaux Superieur 2016

An excellent effort from Jonathan Malthus, this value-priced, lower-level Bordeaux is normally a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. The wine is exactly what one expects from an inexpensive but well-made Bordeaux. Soft tannins, deep berry fruit, a nice, medium-bodied, fleshy texture, and clean finish all make for a delicious wine to drink in its first 3-4 years of life. 90 points rated by James Suckling (2016)
