Ixsir, Altitudes Red, 2021

A rich garnet in colour, the Ixsir Altitudes red has irresistibly succulent aromas of juicy, ripe black cherries, fresh raspberries and a sprinkling of peppery spice. It has the soft, mellow, velvety texture of a Rhône Valley wine, with similar complex herbal nuances and Syrah's distinctive perfume. Underneath all this, the Cabernet Sauvignon provides tannins that are firm but ripe and polished. Drink now and over the next 3-4 years. This would be wonderful with roast or barbecued lamb...
