Ogier Héritages Lirac 2020 (France)

Description

Blackberry, Spice, Vanilla

"Aromas and flavours of fresh and preserved plums, a mix of blackberry fruits then clay and mineralised soil qualities. There’s also a mix of red flowers and peppery spices. Dry with medium+ body/weight, acidity and tannins deliver just the right level of structure and mouthfeel for the fruit and spice flavour qualities. Balanced and well made, ready to drink and an easy option for food pairing. Best drinking from 2024 through 2028+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2023
