Description

Perfect bottle of this Ken Forrester Rhone Blend. I unfortunately scraped the front of the label putting it in my wine fringe in a tight section!

The 'Three Halves' being Mourvèdre with 'a splash' of Shiraz and Grenache, "the total being greater than the sum of the parts." A cellar-door release, so not available in the UK currently. Aged in second fill French oak barrels for 18 months, it begins to show some lovely tertiary development, a bit of bloodiness and meatiness, pepper and smokiness, a dense and chewy suggestion to the fruit, though through to the palate the fruit has a hint of cranberry and dry redcurrant that gives the wine a fresh edge, good acids and fairly gentle tannins that give this great drinkability.
