Ixsir Grande Réserve Red 2018

Ixsir Grande Réserve Red is praised for its rich, full-bodied character with notes of dark fruit, oak, and spices. Many appreciate its smooth tannins and balanced acidity, while some highlight its moderate length and potential for aging. The wine's Lebanese heritage is celebrated, though a few find it overhyped. Overall, it offers a satisfying and sophisticated experience, suitable for special occasions.

Ixsir Grande Réserve Red shows an inky ruby colour in the glass. On the nose, expect to find a bold intensity of baked black fruit aromas, blackberry and plum. The palate is dry and full bodied with ample concentration of fruit upon the mid-palate. The tannins are grippy, but ripe and the refreshing acidity maintains a sense of balance, leading to a long finish with toasted oak chocolate nuances.
