Shop review: "Blackberry and licorice combine with touches of Asian five-spice on the rich, penetrating nose. The mouth delivers a never-ending wave of ripe and powerful black fruits and structured yet supple tannins, with a mineral spark that runs from bow to stern with impressive electricity. Concentrated yet balanced through the through; one of our top southern values and favorites this year in and year out" - Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Chateau Mattes-Sabran Corbieres poured a deep red/black hue in the glass. Scents of peppers and cloves came to mind upon sniffing. I tasted notes of currant with intense jammy fruit flavors and a strong tannin bite. This wine was okay, but I have tasted better Syrah's.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
