2016 vintage. Bekaa Valley, at 1050 m altitude. Blend of 40% cabernet sauvignon, 40% syrah, 15% cinsault and 5% carignan. Drinking perfectly now. Cherries on spices, smooth but present tannin, balancing acidity and peppery finish. Bring on the grilled Lebanese lamb! Very nice value too at about 13 euro.
