Something for the weekend – a nice claret

Ch. Pey-Bonhomme Les-Tours 2012, Blaye – Côtes de Bordeaux

This was a really enjoyable wine, classic Bordeaux, with clean blackcurrant fruits, a seam of acidity running through, and a light dry tannic bite on the finish. I had mine with a roast shoulder of pork (Tamworth, from ethicalpork.com, excellent) and it was very good. I suspect it would be even better with lamb.
