Réserve de la Comtesse 2016
Tasting
Colour: Deep, intense garnet red.
Nose: Fine and complex. Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), black cherry, floral nuances (violet), subtle spicy notes (sweet pepper, liquorice), elegant touches of cedar and graphite typical of Pauillac, discreet, harmonious oakiness.
Palate: Silky, precise attack. Refined texture with fine, coated tannins, providing structure and elegance. Ample and flavoursome mid-palate, marked by pure, juicy fruit, underpinned by controlled acidity. Long, well-balanced finish, with reminiscences of black fruit, spices and light mineral notes.

Suggested pairings
Excellent with grilled or roasted red meats (rib of beef, entrecote, duck breast), roast lamb (loin, leg) or stews (tajine with sweet spices, spring navarin). Also ideal with roast poultry (guinea fowl, cherry duck) and game birds (pheasant, partridge). An excellent accompaniment to richly flavoured stews (daube provençale, bœuf bourguignon) and mature hard cheeses (Comté vieux, vieux Cantal) or slightly blue-veined cheeses (Fourme d'Ambert, Bleu d'Auvergne).

The 2017 Cos Labory is medium to deep garnet-purple coloured and very fragrant and floral with red and black fruits, some spices and earth plus a waft of herbs.
The palate is fruity, greedy, balanced, and offers an acidic frame, juiciness, and tension. In the mouth, this wine expresses notes of blackcurrant, blackberry.
An aristocratic wine, taut, racy, juicy, highly digestible, with supple tannins and a velvety feel. An immense success.
Classy Pauillac with cassis and spice notes, balanced palate with ripe tannins. Elegant and long. Rated up to 93/100 by top critics.
Château Bréhat is a wine of character, full-bodied with a fine tannic structure.
The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin in the mouth, a keen line of acidity, fine precision here with a mineral-rich finish that exudes terroir expression.
