Calathus Gran Corte I 2017

85% Malbec, 10% Cab Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, and 100% the wine to pour as you out the cheeseboard, this is not a wine for beginners nor the shy when it comes to robust reds. It's almost a Port-like in profile, and a worthy partner to a Stilton.

Decant at least four hours before serving, as it requires the time to breathe and release its many wonderful layers. In doing so, you'll be rewarded with scents of leather, oak wood, and Camembert, chewy, unctuous flavours of hazelnuts, raspberry, and black cherry, and the sound of a lot of guests saying 'Where did you say you bought this...?'

We described the wonderful Calathus Gran Corte II 2017 as being a wine of 'Proustian flavours of childhood remade for grown-up tastebuds', the Gran Corte 1 2017 is it's big brother, who has decided to be even more grown-up and have a second helping at that Stilton.
