Elephant Hill Le Phant Rouge 2020

Vinted from a blend of 41% Merlot, 24% Syrah, 18% Tempranillo, 12% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc.

The winery writes "A medium-bodied Merlot dominant blend displaying blackberry, cassis and plum characters with a succulent texture and great finish. It can be enjoyed for a further 6 to 8 years from vintage."

Sam Kim writes "Gorgeously ripe and complex, showing blackcurrant, dark plum, violet, olive and subtle cedar characters on the nose. The concentrated palate is both refined and powerful, delivering excellent depth and richness backed by plenty of fine tannins, finishing persistent and satisfying."

Cameron Douglas MS writes "This red belnd made with merlot, syrah, tempranillo and malbec - offers aromas of boysenberry and plum, mixed berry compote, violet and a whisper of dark chocolate. Oak, toasty aromas and baking spices add depth and on the palate a velvet mouthfel. PLenty of acidity to contrast a core of fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase and through 2026."
