Ixsir, El Ixsir White, Batroun, Lebanon, 2015

89
Tasted by: James Button
(at Decanter's Mediterranean & Balkans Fine Wine Encounter, 12 May 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2019
The high proportion of Viognier in the blend gives this white a rich honey and citrus character on the nose. The palate is rounded yet fresh, with an initial burst of black pepper settling down into notes of cinnamon, baked apple and a hint of vanilla.
