Glenelly Estate Reserve 2018
£20.95
Glenelly Estate Reserve 2018 is the signature red blend of Glenelly, inspired by the classic Claret style of the 1700s, with Cabernet Sauvignon as its backbone, delivering rich cassis, mulberry, cedar and tobacco notes. Syrah adds red and black cherry flavours with a touch of black pepper spice on the mid-palate. The wine is complex, layering intense fruit with mocha, Christmas cake, sandalwood and leather. Fresh acidity balances firm tannins, leading to a clean, dry finish with strong ageing potential.
