Maison Barboulot Cabernet-Syrah
Maison Barboulot Cabernet-Syrah 2019 from France.
This is very berry and strong wine. It’s fruity blackberry banana 🍌 cinnamon clove. It’s potent to drink and takes a frontseat to the food it’s paired with. I think next time I’d try it with a blue cheese or a smelly creamy Brie, ah yes that would pair well for me. Unless they’re both too strong. I’m gonna try it together and see. Or taste 👍🏼
I’d say it’s a Trader Joe’s value.

It’s the kind of wine you can turn to, again and again, to pair with a nice, seared steak during a romantic dinner, to cheers with a loved one as you nestle into the couch to watch a show, or even to just keep on hand for whenever the moment calls for an outstanding and approachable French red.
