شاتو بريور دو بلانيان ميدوك 2016، بوردو

Opened it last night with a simple roast chicken, and the blackberry and red currant aromas hit right away—exactly what I hoped from a 2016 Medoc. It’s medium-bodied but the herbs and minerals keep it interesting without needing to decant for hours.

The velvety texture is what really won me over—it coats your mouth perfectly without being too heavy. The herbal and mineral notes balance the fruit beautifully, making this a great value Bordeaux. I'd buy it again without hesitation.

The blackberry and cherry aromas hit you right away, and the medium body makes it perfect for a weeknight dinner. Finished the bottle with some roast beef and wished I had bought two.
