Domaine Maby Lirac La Fermade

The 2018 Lirac la Fermade is 50% Grenache, 35% Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre, all vinified and matured in stainless steel. Still a gorgeous purple-red hue, it offers up intoxicating aromas of red raspberries and garrigue, with hints of roasted plums and star anise. Medium to full-bodied, it's ripe and velvety on the palate, finishing long and plush. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.

Liquorice and strawberries. Intense fruit and great structure. Piercing wild strawberry and cranberry sweetness, touch of marzipan, loads of wild thyme. This is a riot of southern warmth and charm. Muscular tannins that hold up the weight of fruit with easy grace. Another GV - Good value wine!
