ON-WINE SHOPPING: 2016 Chateau Videau Bordeaux
£9.25 at www. woodwinters.com Younger wine drinkers do not seem to “get” Bordeaux reds the way their predecessors did. Wines concentrating on bright fruitiness now seem preferred to versions that also contain Bordeaux’s typical leafy and mineral elements. Here though is an example that plays down those savoury components yet still delivers rounded cherry, prune and raspberry fruit with firm tannin and embellished with good acidity and hints of cocoa, aniseed and nuts.
