L'Orme de Rauzan-Gassies

Although this is slightly rustic, it’s got stacks of cassis, cranberry and herbal character and a fresh, energetic finish. Very food-friendly. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Ormes de Rauzan Gassies has a light, slightly earthy bouquet featuring pleasant red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannins, earthy black fruit and a slightly attenuated finish. This actually improves in the glass and develops more fruit. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
