Domaine Les Yeuses, Vin de Pays d’Oc, Les Epices Syrah, 2013

Along with the <a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine-reviews/portugal/douro-valley/quinta-dos-avidagos-lot-138-douro-valley-portugal-2014-3737">Quinta dos Avidagos, this is a contender for one of the UK’s best-value reds. It’s a sexy, perfumed Syrah full of juicy, supple black fruits, ripe red plums and baking spices. Very smooth and elegant on the palate, it has a surprisingly complex and serious structure – more akin to what you’d find in a wine twice the price. One to impress your guests over a steak dinner.
