Chateau Brassac 2016 Bordeaux Superieur review

This Merlot based Bordeaux has depth of aroma with its cherry, dark chocolate and liquorice notes - there's even a touch of smokiness just to add to the list. The flavour is slightly lighter than the aroma leads you to expect - more milk chocolate fruitiness and a touch of Marmite. If you didn't know this was a red Bordeaux you might think it was a Spanish red made with the Carmenere grape.
