Vintage 2011 | In praise of the cooperatives ☺️ This wine from Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Abouriou was really hard when young. And now after 12 years it reveals its qualities: cherries and spices in smell, smooth velvety taste, very vibrant and still with tannins present. It gives joy. Paired with spaghetti garlic, anchovies and parsley.

Oct 24th, 2023Vintage 2011 / It’s incredible what a good cave cooperative can achieve with good selection. This Château Bazin is made from merlot, cab franc, malbec and abouriou. Really dark colour, 4/4, can not see through it. Some colouring at the edge. Attractive smell with great freshness for a wine with this age, some cassis. Velvety and rich taste in the mouth. Slowly starts to reveal its qualities. Paired with halibut with ginger and Shanghai paksoi with rice.
