Château Dasvin-Bel-Air, Haut-Médoc 2019 (Bordeaux)
This smooth, elegant wine is from the heart of the Médoc wine area, just to the north of the city of Bordeaux. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, it has vanilla, blackcurrant and dark cherry on the nose, and blackcurrant and plum on the palate.
A hint of smokiness reflects the oak ageing and there is a slight earthiness in the finish. This is a well-balanced, medium-bodied wine with medium tannins, offering very good value for money.
This is an excellent match for a Sunday roast and will also go well with hard cheese.
Available from Co-op (£13.50)
