DOMAINE BESSA VALLEY ENIRA 2017 CELLAR TRACKER 91 POINTS

The Enira is a blend of 40% Merlot, 50% Syrah and 10% Petit Verdot, all aged in used French oak for 12 months. Feeling full in the mouth with refined tannins (but a real backbone), this is impeccably balanced, very flavorful (with restrained oak impact) and simply a pleasure to drink. A little earthy complexity pops up on the finish and the velvety texture is rather sensual, too, although it becomes much crisper with aeration. This is easy to like.
