Le Benjamin Bordeaux, Chateau Des Annereaux 2021

Grape: Merlot 95%, Petit Verdot 5%

Reigon: Bordeaux, France

This wine is deep garnet in the glass, and full of blackcurrant and black cherry aromas. The first sip is smooth and balanced, with well-developed tannins and a touch of pepper and smoke from the Petit Verdot. Super balanced between spice and fruit, leading to a clean, satisfying finish.
