BUY LAROSE TRINTAUDON HAUT MEDOC 2010 ONLINE | Easton Liquors

This Chateau Larose Trintaudon Haut-Medoc lives up to region's reputation not only with its intense fruit, but with stellar balance, lovely fine tannins and just the right amount of acidity. Its power and density will satisfy mightily with lamb and meat dishes, especially beef. Pour your first glass and enjoy it with a hearty Tuscan chicken liver paté on rustic toast. Having a little bowl of Spanish Marcona almonds nearby wouldn't hurt either. We love this rich, beautifully defined Haut-Medoc and its earthy tobacco nuances with a roast leg of lamb served with a broccoli rabe gratinée. Formidable! A lighter alternative would be a garganelli pasta with fresh lamb sausage, zucchini and tomato. The labor involved in duck confit is worth it for this Château Larose-Trantaudon. Heavenly together. A rich, crisp-skinned roast goose with a red wine, cherry reduction will bring out the abundant, dark fruit of this Bordeaux. It's perfectly acceptable to end the meal savoring another glass or two of the silky sweetness of this beau Bordeaux's texture and tannins all by itself. If you have room left, however, we suggest a woodsy French Banon goat cheese.
