This 2016 Chateau Lyonnat is a full-bodied red wine from the Bordeaux region of France. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc grapes, aged for 18 months in oak barrels. The nose is full of ripe blackberry and cassis aromas, with hints of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, the wine is smooth and velvety, with a balanced acidity and a long finish. The tannins are well integrated, and the flavors of dark fruits, licorice, and spice linger on the tongue. This is a complex and elegant wine that pairs well with grilled meats, game, and aged cheeses. Enjoy it now or cellar it for a few years to allow the flavors to develop further.
