Marchesi di Barolo

Barolo is known as the 'king of wines' and is made from the Nebbiolo grape. Heady aromas of rose, leather, vanilla, cherry, pepper, cranberry, strawberry. Fruits are perfectly knitted with the tannins and acidity. It's a powerful wine but remarkably subtle. Don't underestimate it and certainly serve it with food to show at it's best. Nebbiolo has naturally high tannins and acidity, so it will take on full-flavoured, rich foods no problem at all.

Pauillac 4th Growth Classification

The 1984 Château Duhart-Milon is a well-aged Fourth Growth Pauillac, but it originates from a challenging vintage. The 1984 Bordeaux growing season was marked by cool, damp weather, leading to hard, austere Cabernet-based wines that lacked the balance for long-term aging.
