A perfectly aged bottle (well, actually two bottles, since it's a magnum!) of Bordeaux, that is ready to drink tonight. Classic in style, this wine will surely please those in search for that old school Bordeaux. But also, I think it is a good mature bottle that would be a perfect introduction to those wanting to know what is all about. In any case, a must try!

This is a delicious classic Haut Medoc that has fresh, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherry and cassis, some smoke and leather and a long, silky finish.

A magnum of mature Bordeaux from a very good vintage for under 40 bucks is insane so drag this to your next party and watch it empty surprisingly quickly. This soft, silky wine has caressing red fruit flavors and a touch of earth in the plump middle and a long, soft finish. Here is an absolute bargain in perfectly stored ready to drink Claret.

This is old school, pure, mature Claret- Very good length and fresh cassis flavors. A great discovery but we only have about 100 bottles left to sell. I love the sweet red fruit flavors and length on the palate.

Drink from 2018 to 2025

This magnum is drinking with exceptional freshness and has excellent complexity for the price. Getting the inside track on Bordeaux like this is one of the biggest perks to working at K&L. This is old school, pure, medium bodied claret with very good length and fresh cassis flavors. We enjoyed this with short ribs, and it had plenty of good cut for the rich dish. I think it would be even better with a grilled ribeye!

Drink from 2018 to 2029

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Cabernet Sauvignon and Blends

- Cabernet Sauvignon has come a long way from its role as a blending varietal, however dominant, in the wines of Bordeaux. Today it is the most planted red varietal in the world. Identified as a descendent of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be planted in warmer climates to fully ripen. Its small berries can easily be identified for their distinctive blue color, thick skins and high tannins. And while the varietal has its own definitive characteristics: green pepper-like aromas and black currant flavors among them, it is perhaps most prized for its ability to convey terroir, vintage and winemaking. A relatively new varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon started making inroads into the wines of the Médoc and Graves in the late-18th century. Today it is also dominant in the up-and-coming Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux and can also be found in Southwest France. It is the companion varietal to Sangiovese in Italy's Super Tuscans and is planted all over Europe, stretching to lesser-known winegrowing regions like Russia and Lebanon. In the Americas Cabernet Sauvignon has found champions in every nook and cranny of California and among winemakers in Washington, where it complements plantings of Merlot. In South America, Cab thrives in Chile, but can also be found in smaller amounts in Argentina and even in Mexico.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.
