Chateau La Fleur de Bouard 2021

JAMES SUCKLING: "This is a solid red with lots of structure and blackberry and currant character. The tannins seriously frame the wine with a solid finish. 40% cabernet sauvignon, the rest merlot."

DECANTER: "Vibrant nose, feels energetic, the aromas jump out the glass. Lovely texture and clarity on the palate which has a crystalline aspect to it; vibrant and high-toned. On the mid-palate, dark chocolate, cigar, tobacco and liquorice notes abound, adding complexity and showing off more sides than just fruit at this point. In keeping with the style - a savoury spiciness. Lots of potential."
