Saint-Emilion 2015 Private Reserve, Schroder & Schyler

Sold out, and I am not surprised. Eleven year old Saint-Emilion at under thirteen pounds a bottle was the best value on this list. The "Private Reserve" label from this historic hugely trusted Bordeaux Merchant. - Each wine in this range is a specially sourced "oneoff" bargain parcel from a single estate, selected for its high quality and generally from a famous classified growth. Given the special origin and nature of these wines they cannot always be followed from one vintage to another. Ruby red and shiny colour. Charming nose, round shiny ruby-red colour. Charming, velvety bouquet with seducing aromas of blackcurrant, cherry and a spicy finish. Ageing in 2 year old oak barrels for 12 months. Now with secondary plus aromas and flavours on the palate - reral interest as a wine, drink now and enjoy The 2015 vintage in Bordeaux is certainly a celebrated one, plenty of sun for ripeness with a blend 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc this is drinking well now and at this price offers great value and with the bottle age of 10 years i like the integrated structure that it offers. 2015 great vintage, good bottle age for £12.58 a bottle i can not fault it!
