Gérard Bertrand, Les Aspres Reserve, Languedoc, France 2018

A ripe and perfumed nose of sweet-spiced red and dark berries. A Grenache-driven GSM blend partially aged in oak, it has ripe and soft-textured tannins. The sweet dark cherry, raspberry and prune flavours are balanced by moderate acidity (3.5g/l), liquorice and dried herb complexity, with raisin and figs on the warm finish.
