Ch. La Croix Martelle La Reserve de Sirus 2001

La Réserve de Sirus with its garnet hue presents a palate of flavours that combines notes of brandied cherries, vanilla and grilled almonds. Peppery aromas introduce a nose that is warm and intense, while in the mouth the attack is full and fresh, exceptionally well-balanced, with long silky tannins and flavours of ripe black fruits. Vinified with respect for the fruit, La Réserve de Sirus would make a perfect partner for (for example) "Pigeons aux Olives", "Pintades aux Raisins", or "Chapons Truffés au jus".

Cinsault (40%), Syrah (25%), Grenache (23%), Mourvèdre (12%)
