Berry Bros. & Rudd is an institution in the wine trade, claiming to be Britain’s oldest wine and spirit merchant. Apart from selling wines from all over the world, Berry Bros. & Rudd also source grapes from France to produce their own selection of Bordeaux. This wine is their entry-level.

Deep ruby hue. Classic claret nose, with notes of cassis, blackberry and dark plums combined with a slight toastiness and smoke aroma. Hints of roasted coffee. On the palate, medium in body, with mainly black fruit and a touch of pleasant spiciness (toast, smoke, oak). High acidity, medium to full in tannins. Medium intensity overall. A solid wine, though not particularly complex.
