When I opened this bottle of Chateau Negrit I was not sure whether it was corked. The aroma was not pleasant at all. However, as I left languishing on the side whilst preparing my stew, it improved itself considerably.
Once confirmed that the wine was good, I poured about a third of the bottle into the stew and simultaneously took care of my own glass. The nose was typical black currants with the sweetness of the merlot. Full-bodied but easy drinking.
Chateau Negrit is the perfect wine to add to a stew as a flavour enhancer. The taste was deliciously rich and satisfying. With a healthy glass standing by the dish, it's a match made in heaven.
