Minervois
Les Frères d’Armes
Deep ruby-red robe. Intense nose with black fruit notes (blackberry, blackcurrant), and a hint of menthol. On the palate it is supple and mouth-filling; the black fruit comes through again, with Syrah adding structure and spice; the tannins are nicely integrated and the finish is long. A poised, elegant example of Minervois wine grown on hillsides.
