Domaine Clos des Mourres, Côtes du Rhône, Rhône, 2016

(at Decanter's Tasting Suite, 09 Aug 2017)
(5 litre bag in box) From a small producer based in Cairanne, this is The Winemakers Club's house red pour in their Farringdon bar and Deptford restaurant, also available to purchase in the same five litre bag in box format. It has bright aromas of sweet and vibrant cherry, raspberry and strawberry. In the mouth the tannins are soft, barely noticeable, and the sweet fruit character continues, with a touch of vanilla and spice right on the finish. Not the longest finish, but very drinkable. The 5 litre format may be trickier to move around than 2.25 and 3 litre examples, but is great for larger gatherings.
