A Cabernet Sauvignon-led Pauillac red wine from Bordeaux's Left Bank, blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc by Maison Sichel.
Dark fruit leads, with cedar and tobacco around it and a light touch of vanilla. Ripe blackcurrant, plum and black cherry follow on the palate, with graphite, leather and spice underneath. The tannins are firm and well integrated. You can cellar it for up to five years if you have the patience.

"The Sichel family have been in Bordeaux since 1883, and this Pauillac is a great introduction to the style of the appellation. I'd open it with a rib of beef and a few friends round the table. Decant it if you've got time."
Maison Sichel is a family-run Bordeaux négociant whose roots go back to 1883, when the family opened a buying office on the Bordeaux quay. Seven generations on, they co-own Château Palmer, where they took a major share in 1938, and have owned Château d'Angludet since 1961.
A structured Pauillac red wine with ripe dark fruit and firm tannins. Good with a rib of beef or a plate of mature cheese.
