Vieux Chateau Gaubert, Graves 2009 Double Magnum (3L)

A blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot it's aged for 12 months in 40% new oak following fermentation. The nose has quite a level of complexity with some savouriness among the ripe dark fruits while the palate is ripe and juicy with blackberry, coffee and a touch of dry spice. The soft, ripe tannins give it a delicious succulence.
