Château De Fontenelles, Corbières, France 2016 Red Wine

Château De Fontenelles, Corbières, France 2016 Red Wine, was a gift for wine tasting from Brian Tyler.

Poured colors of deep ruby red with violet highlights, clinging glass sheets, and a clear wine ring.

Aromatic peppermint, cocoa, cherry fruit, and underbrush was excellent.

More than medium-bodied, this was a complex red wine with a striking flavor of Kirsch, but it was smoky and with chocolate and coffee flavors, marked by a silky mouth-feel and good acidity with comfortably supportive tannins.
Finished long on the fading palate and dominated by anise and an appropriate 13.5% alcohol.
Varietals were 55% Syrah, 25% Grenache,10% Carignan, and 10% Mourvèdre.
Paired okay with my spiced-rubbed rib eye.
With an average price of $8.99 and rated 89 points, makes this a recommended buy!
