ready-keep2019 Berry Bros. & Rudd Extra Ordinary Claret

For just gone two decades, “EOC”, as it is known, has come from this single estate in the southern Graves. The 2019 vintage is a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aromas of blackberries and blueberries combine with notes of cedar, allspice and violets. The palate is succulent and moreish, with layers of ripe cherries and blackcurrants, bolstered by a firm backbone of soft, silky tannins. Rich, warming, and classically Bordeaux, this would pair beautifully with a leg of lamb, or enrich any simple mid-week meal.
