The 2007 red Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux L’Aurage embodies everything one expects from a great Bordeaux with elegant maturation. The nose is irresistibly seductive, with notes of undergrowth, dried morel, truffle, dark chocolate, and stewed black fruits. The delicate, refined palate, shaped by time, reveals round, mature tannins, perfectly integrated, with a gently spiced finish. A beautiful bottle to pair with a veal chop and seasonal vegetables, for example. |
