Jonathon Livingstone-Learmonth, Drink Rhone
A blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre, and 5% Cinsault, the 2017 Lirac was brought up in a mix of demi-muid and tank. It has classic notes of black raspberries, cassis, white flowers, graphite, and pepper. These carry to a medium to full-bodied red that has fine tannins, a balanced, classic, elegant profile, and a great finish.

Violet flowers, spiced, fresh-earthy notes and blueberries, as well as cherries here. The palate has a very succulent and juicy feel with good drive of deep, berry flavor. Drink or hold.
