Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Description

" A stylish red, the fragrant bouquet shows classic Bordeaux aromas of cassis, mixed spice, cigar box and roasted nuut. The palate delivers elegant yet flavoursome palate, filled with attractive fruit flavours as well as subtle savoury notes. It is beautifully balanced and harmonious, and offers smooth mouthfeel and a lingering finish. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim Wine Orbit

Charming wine, with intense fruity aromas and spicy hints. Good structure and long finish. Intense and aromatic with aromas of very ripe fruit (cherry jam) with spicy and cocoa notes. After a full bodied attack, the mouth evolves into round and smooth tannins with good length.

This wine is the ultimate homage to Thomas Barton who came to Bordeaux from Ireland in 1725. He quickly became the most important wine merchant in Bordeaux having built a solid reputation among faithful customers all over Europe, who recognized his expertise and know - how. The spirit of Thomas Barton has been perpetuated in this prestigious wine. The packaging reflects the classic elegance of the 18th century: a typical “flacon bordelais” bottle a short capsule – a long cork – and a sober label mentioning the name of the shipper and the appellation.

We found the wine to be outstanding just what we look for in a wine

A beautiful balanced dry Bordeaux, with all of the right Bordeaux characteristics - hints of apples and earthy flavours, tannins that fade as the bottle goes down.

as a day to day drink, you'll struggle to do better at this price point.
