Ixsir, Grande Reserve Rosé, Batroun, Lebanon, 2016

87
Tasted by: James Button
(at Decanter's Mediterranean & Balkans Fine Wine Encounter, 12 May 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2018
A barrel aged rosé from Lebanon that offers a light strawberry and cream character alongside a touch of spice. Quite a delicate style despite the oak influence, and one that will work well with or without food. Hubert de Boüard of Château Angélus consults.
