2004 Berrys' Extra Ordinary Claret

I was virtually weaned on Berrys' famously reliable Good Ordinary Claret – still the company's best seller – but this is a big step up. Made especially for Berrys by Jean-Michel Cazes of Château Lynch-Bages fame, it is graceful and poised with rich, dark berry fruit and silky tannins. It's quite a beauty and perfect with Sunday roasts.

The idea of Berrys’ Extra Ordinary Claret was first mooted way back in 1986, but much like a fine Claret, we felt it was better to wait until the concept was perfectly mature – and launched it a mere 19 years later, in 2005. Personally selected for us by Bordeaux legend Jean-Michel Cazes, of Ch. Lynch Bages-fame, this is an elegant, modern Claret packed with sleek cassis and plum fruit matched with the classic earthy, minerally hints of the Graves. As with our GOC, we feel the success of this wine lies in its combination of quality, value and reliability at an affordable price.
