Andre Brunel Cotes du Rhone Villages Cuvee Sabrine, France 2019 IGP Ile de Beaute with the tight tannins ofWith excellent harmony of a generous body with fine tannins and restrained black fruit character, plus notes of spice, licorice and leather, this is a very impressive wine for the appellation.
