Durandal Bordeaux Superior 2008
A blend of Merlot 60%, Cabernet Franc 25% and Cabernet Sauvignon 15% from a single vineyard in the Cotes de Castillon directly adjacent to St Emilion appellation. Available September 2010. Importer: Echelon Wine Partners. Ripe blueberry/raspberry fruit with a clutch of dried herb and plenty of that dark minerality that’s so attractive in the wines of Bordeaux. It’s firm and dry, but surprisingly full and fruity (in context) with excellent density, good length and a refreshing finish. Clearly made to win friends yet does not betray its regionality and roots. And it ticks all the boxes for value, drinkability and interest. Super bargain.
