was neither refined nor filtered

There's a nod to the Loire here with the leafiness and red berry crunch but ripe plum and graphite ground it in Bordeaux

but has the wonderfully distinct flavours of honey

This would be best approached after an hour in a decanter

this old-vine red is a great example of his signature style

Sichel, Bordeaux Rouge 2020 Czech Republic was neither refined nor filteredAn elegant intense garnet colour, a sustained and elegant nose of black red fruits blackcurrant and blackberries, accompanied by toasted and vanilla notes. On the palate, we find a fresh and generous texture with a very nice balance. The tannins are harmoniously enveloped. Undoubtedly a very beautiful expression of a great Bordeaux Red wine.
