Ixsir Altitudes Rouge 21

The 2021 Ixsir Altitudes Rouge is a versatile and accessible Lebanese red blend from the Batroun District, recognized for its balance of high-altitude freshness and ripe fruit intensity. A "delicate and complex" bouquet featuring ripe blackberries, mulberries, and blackcurrants. Some reviewers note secondary aromas of sweet spice, cocoa, and a faint floral hint of violet. Bold and imposing with a vibrant "personality". It offers rich tones of dark fruit and pepper, supported by a "mouthwatering" acidity. Characterized by its soft, silky tannins and a round mouthfeel that prevents it from feeling heavy. Long and polished with a lingering "stony" mineral trace and a spicy edge.
