Rupert & Rothschild Baron Edmond 2017

This red Bordeaux blend has delicate aromas of blackberry, blackcurrants, cedar wood and forest floor. Classically structured mouthfeel with a supple texture, complex layers and a focused linearity on the finish. A delicious partner with beef sirloin, parsnip puree, potato fondant and grape pomace jus.

Serve with pan-seared beef fillet, porcini mushrooms and asparagus complemented by a red wine jus.
