The Labarthe estate has belonged to the Albert family since the 16th century, and is still made by a father and son team. This is a light, lively, spicy wine, a blend of Fer-Servadou, Duras and Syrah, with cherry fruit and an earthy note on the finish. It did fade behind the food when I tried it, and might need to be consumed with something delicate. 13% alcohol.
