Ferrand 2021 Cotes du Rhone "Cuvee Antique" VV 750ml

This wine is predominantly Grenache which is complimented with a field blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault. The vines are between 50 and 90 years of age which gives the wine a lot of concentration on the nose with aromas of black fruit, slatey minerals and smoke. This wine is medium to full bodied with deep, black cherry, raspberry and chocolate notes on the palate. The wine finishes with a gentle hint of tannins and a lovely savoury element. Enjoyable in its youth but put a few bottles down in the cellar for ageing.
