Chateau Cardinal Villemaurine, Grand Cru, 1975, Saint-Emilion, France

An old Bordeaux is always something to try and this Chateau Cardinal Villemaurine, Grand Cru, 1975, Saint-Emilion is a good wine to see why. At 47 years old theres still complexity and flavours to find but with softness and soothing that has a decent length. The red and black fruit, hints of tobacco and oak are all subtle and mellow but that’s not a problem.

At £120 a bottle it’s not one to get in by the case.
