Minervois
A superb vintage, and magnificent ruby red Syrah with aromas of blueberry and strawberry followed by truffle and then chocolate and cinnamon. In the mouth it is smooth, well-balanced, with black fruit notes of prune and ripe cherry that give way to eucalyptus and a touch of menthol on the finish. A delicious Minervois that has all the elegance typical of the appellation, but with its own strikingly individual personality that cannot fail to impress.
