2018 Berry Bros. & Rudd St Estèphe by Tronquoy-Lalande

Our 2018 St Estèphe is dominated by Merlot, though the warm growing season was perfect for the late-ripening Petit Verdot – which makes up an unusually high 41% of the blend. The result is a lush and powerful Claret. Aromas of cassis, plum and cherry adorn the nose. The palate brings grippy but ripe tannins, gentle acidity and a pencil-lead finish. This is balanced and extremely drinkable. Serve it with your favourite steak or a winter stew. 

Drink 2024 - 2025
