Chateau La Bridane, Saint-Julien, France 2018 Sake Vigne Marina Coppi is best

Vigne Marina Coppi is best known for making great Timorasso but this everyday red maintains a youthful profile despite the relatively long ageing - 10 months in stainless steel plus eight months in bottle

from grapes picked later than usual

A juicy and rich red with blackberry and black-truffle aromas and flavors

fine tannins and a dry and very tasty finish that's almost salty

Nose: It is a young wine and therefore expresses all its characteristic freshness of this varietal

Chateau La Bridane, Saint-Julien, France 2018 Sake Vigne Marina Coppi is bestAppealing brambly fruit aromatics on the nose. On the palate it is measured and juicy, with brambled blueberry and raspberry fruits. Rustic in an unfussy way, with good structure and a real sense of uplift. Hard to find St Julien like this anymore, and although it is not polished it has so much going for it. Cabernet Franc also in the blend here. 92 Pts Decanter
