André Brunel Cuvée Sabrine Côtes du Rhône-Villages 2019

A blend of 70% grenache, 20% syrah, and 10% mourvèdre, fermented and aged in concrete vats, this delicious wine shows robust flavours perfectly balanced with clean acidity. With more intense flavours than most Côtes du Rhône reds, this shows a very attractive flavour profile and a generous texture. Although potentially on the heavy side, it’s reined in with good acidity and emerges as a very successful, balanced effort. It’s drinking very well now and will hold through to the mid-2020s. Score – 92. (Rod Phillips, undated)
