Glenelly Estate Reserve Red 2016

The Estate Reserve is the signature red blend of Glenelly. It combines the rich and savoury character of the Syrah (pepper and spices) with Cabernet Sauvignon (blackberries, cherries and floral spices) and with touches of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The blend is different with every vintage. The wine offers fine tannins supported by ripe fresh fruit and hints of spices.

Tasting note: "This is a blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 15% Syrah and a drop of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that opens with smoky aromas and grilled bell pepper over a core of dense red and black fruit. It's bold, but lively acidity adds elegance. Flavors of herbs, green bell pepper, peppercorn and chocolate are supported by fine-grained tannins. Drink now–2029." - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
