Description
A blend, in roughly equal proportions, of Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah and 80-year-old Cinsault, the wine is intense in colour and richly concentrated; savoury notes and sweet dark cherry fruit join forces, with pepper, liquorice and spice box in reserve. Plenty of plush and polish and an almost Burgundian swagger. A triumphant wine, almost as popular as the senior wine and always a winner with Berry Bros. & Rudd staff! Drink 2019-2022.
