Chateau Picoron Petit Picoron 2017, Bordeaux, France

Bright garnet with a subtle brick rim, showing graceful maturity. The nose is beautifully evolved and expressive, opening with dried fig, plum, black cherry and cedar, layered with tobacco leaf, dried herbs and earthy complexity.

On the palate this is medium-bodied and wonderfully resolved. Plush dark fruit is framed by silky, polished tannins and savoury integration. Notes of cocoa, subtle spice and earthy undertones emerge through a harmonious mid-palate, while balanced acidity keeps the wine fresh and composed. The finish is long, complex and lingering with persistent earthy richness and refined elegance.

Anyone for a cigar?
