Description
The 2019 El Ixsir Red is a masterful expression of Lebanese terroir, sourced from the high-altitude plots of Ainata, Yamoune, and Kab Elias. A classic blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, this wine has been patiently aged for 24 months in French oak barrels to achieve a seamless balance of power and grace.
Though discreet at first, the nose rewards the patient enthusiast; a few minutes of breathing or decanting reveals an opening bouquet of blackcurrant and a whisper of cedar. On the palate, the wine is remarkably round and intriguing, layering rich dark fruits with delicate hints of herbal infusion and warm spices. Its structure is shaped by the ferric clay and limestone soils of the region, resulting in an elegant, evolving finish. Bold and complex, it is the ultimate companion for hearty dishes like beef ribs, entrecote, or a rich ragout.
