(2024) Blended from 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Syrah, this has quite a bold and vibrant cherry/pink colour. Cranberry and reducurrant on the nose, a little hint of rose petal. In the mouth this is a sweet and forward style. I suspect a touch of residual sugar adds to the sweet juiciness. It has texture and concentration, hints of spice and good balancing acidity.
(2024) A blend of Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Syrah, Lebanese producer Ixsir's winemaker Gabriel Rivero spent eight years at Sociando-Malet and says “IXSIR is fundamentally about new world winemaking in an old world country." With vineyards at 1,800m metres, each variety comes from a plot matched for climate and soil type. Pale, if not quite as pale in colour as some, it has plenty of fragrance, with watercolour paintbox and floral aromas, cherry and rose-hip. Quite a heady aromatic profile. The palate is dry, with a peachy, nectarine fruit, a little strawberry and good balance with a peach skin bite of a little grip, citrus acidity and good length.
