What do the experts say?

“

Decanter: Pure, unadulterated blackberry and mulberry flavours take centre stage in this plump but freshly balanced red. A Grenache-dominant blend augmented by spicy accents of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan, it's a softly tannic sip packed with perfumed notes of lilac, violet and bramble. Hedonistic, easy-drinking and quite irresistible.
