ÇEmbruix mainly comes from young vines, planted in the 90's, with a complement of some old Grenache and Carignan.
But this wine was meant to please. And it does.

Trial analysis
Black colour. Aromas of black fruit, plum, black cherries, chocolate, vanilla and animal notes.
Not only a fruit bomb on the palate, but also a great, complex and complete wine where fruit, alcohol, tannins and acidity combine.
Good persistence.
An ideal match for strong meats.
