I don't get to drink mature Bordeaux as often as I would like - I'm not a collector and modern townhouses are not conducive to reliable, cost-effective maturing of wines.
I spotted this 2010 Château Moulin Blanc Bordeaux Cuvee Prestige in Auchan in France on the way back from a summer holiday a few years ago - born into a good year, it has a Gold Medal and worked out at a ridiculously cheap €2.50 per bottle (€10 for two magnums).
So I tucked it away under the stairs for a couple of years; it is pretty much at a peak right now, but will continue to develop.
2010 Château Moulin Blanc Bordeaux Cuvee Prestige Ripe bramble fruits, freshness with a supple texture and harmonious tannins - plenty of stuffing. Adept and balanced, really lovely.
Very Good and ridiculously good value.
