Chateau Mont-Redon Lirac Rouge 2016

Red-cherry and blackberry notes are shaded by tones of anise and forest floor in this full-bodied, Grenache-dominant red. Red-currant acidity lends crispness to the midpalate, accented by fine but drying, grippy tannins on the finish.

Traces of lilac and rose petal perfume plum and dried-strawberry flavors in this luscious, textured wine. It's gloriously ripe but pristine in fruit character. The finish is quite long framed by fine, penetrating tannins and a sizzle of burnt caramel.
