Château Ksara, Cuvée du Troisiéme Millénaire, 2013

91
Tasted by: James Button
(at Decanter's Mediterranean & Balkans Fine Wine Encounter, 12 May 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2024
Aged for 12 months in 65% new French oak, this wine has a rich red and black cherry nose. On the palate, cocoa dusted fine-grained tannins carry a tarry note, lifted by the rich red fruit and a backing of cream. A lovely wine, but needs time or a double decant to soften it. Drink with casseroles or grilled meats.
