Ruby red in colour, with inviting perfumes of cassis and light vanilla. This is a well-structured wine that is full of red fruit flavours, which intermingle with notes of blackcurrant and plum. The gentle oak supports the supple tannins on the long finish of red and blackberries.
Superb with all sorts of red meat.
Made by the Duboscq family who own Ch Haut Marbuzet. Claret has suffered in recent years from over-production of wines which are not very fashionable on todays' world market. Too often we see dry, dusty young Claret lacking fruit and character. Duboscq Claret is the polar opposite of this. Young, yes but full of fruit and vitality - the very essence of what good, everyday drinking Claret should be.
The ripeness is evident in the wine, which has good colour, a classic plummy nose and ripe, supple fruit on the palate.
A superb muscular Claret from a great vintage. Excellent quality, with ripe blackberry and vanilla fruit and soft velvety tannins with a rounded mocha touch.
