A few years’ age can make all the difference to great reds. Extra depth, more complex flavours, and a drinking experience to remember. Clarendelle from the team at Château Haut-Brion is joined by a two-Gold Médoc, and Les Grands Maréchaux 2014 bookends this trio of Bordeaux gems in style. You also have a brambly Cahors Malbec made extra smooth by 12 years’ age. Then, from Spain, there’s Señorío de Sarría, a Cabernet-based splash of luxury from a top Navarra bodega, and a mellow Rioja Gran Reserva. All are drinking beautifully now.
