Tasted by: Simon Wright
(at Decanter's Mediterranean & Balkans Fine Wine Encounter, 12 May 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2019
A southern French blend of Cinsault, Carignan and Syrah (with a touch of Cabernet) from a well established Lebanese producer. Blackcurrant, spice, menthol and black olive notes on the nose. A good dollop of vanilla and slightly overbearing oak on the plump palate. A perfect pair for the barbeque.
