Red wine
Cap Royal, Bordeaux Supérieur 2018
RRP £10
This is masterfully-crafted, textbook Bordeaux; remarkably accessible, yet complex. Pronounced aromas of ripe cassis, red plum, bell pepper and leather characterise the nose. Juicy blackberry and violet on the palate. Harmonious and attractively smooth, with a polished, classy tannin structure.
