TASTING NOTE:

Deep and dense red with bluish tints. The nose is intense and generous, revealing notes of blueberries and blackberries, followed by delicately toasted notes as the wine opens up. On the palate the 2016 Lirac is broad and concentrated, nice and fresh on entry, with lovely red fruit flavours and powerful, smooth tannins. The finish is long-lingering with slightly smoky notes and develops a touch of liquorice over time.
