Natalie's Score: 93/100

NEW: Nathaniel Johnston & Fils has traded Bordeaux wine since 1734, once holding a stake in Château Latour itself. This bottle opens with black cherry and cedar, a savoury edge of dried herbs trailing behind. It's smooth and velvety in the mouth, fine tannins giving it real polish for the price. This is a great entry point into Right Bank Bordeaux without the Right Bank price tag. Try it with roast pork or a plate of aged cheese.

Food pairings: braised lamb shanks, duck confit, aged hard cheese.
