AWARDS

A 'little brother' may live in the shadow of his older brother, but he is every bit a person in his own right. Pert and precocious, not allowing himself to be dominated, he can be impudent and mischievous - but is everyone's favourite.

An excellent example of a premium Bordeaux-style blend
