-41%You know that bottle you open when the evening actually matters? This is it. A proper left-bank Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon-led, with dark cassis and blackberry up front and a firm, grippy backbone that loves red meat. Pour it alongside nyama choma off the grill and watch both get better. It's structured enough to feel grown-up, friendly enough that you won't overthink it.
Pour it and you get ruby in the glass, then a nose of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry with a faint earthy, cedary edge from time spent in barrel. On the palate it's rich and rounded, full of that ripe black-fruit core, but the Cabernet Sauvignon brings firm tannins (that drying grip on your gums) that keep it serious rather than sweet. It's bone dry, well balanced, and finishes long. A classic claret, basically, the kind of red that has structure but doesn't bully you.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Raymond Huet is a Bordeaux house with roots going back to 1873, and this red comes from the Haut-Médoc, the appellation on the left bank of the Gironde that's famous for gravelly soils and Cabernet-driven reds. What makes the range interesting is the modern hand behind it: the wines are crafted with input from Michel Rolland, one of the most celebrated winemakers on the planet. So you get old left-bank backbone with a polished, ripe-fruited style. Classic address, modern touch.
