Intense bramble fruit with hints of liquorice. The palate is full and weighty with blackcurrents and a gentle spicy warmth balanced by well structured tannins. What makes this a classy claret is its impeccable balance, will age beautifully.
Serve with lamb or rabbit.
Classic leafy character on the nose yet ripe, supple fruit on the palate with an excellent long finish.
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.
Soft ripe fruit and smoky gamey edges. It's quite full bodied with a touch of oak, velvety tannins and fine length.
