A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre as well as a small amount of Viognier from 2015, 2016, and 2017, it has something profound in its texture and balance. Notes of black raspberries, currants, dried flowers, lavender, and pepper are followed by a beautiful, full-bodied, elegant wine that might just be one of the greatest red wines to come from Beaumes de Venise.' \u003cb\u003e95\/100 (Jeb Dunnock)\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"The Big Red Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":62619949826397,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x750ml","offer_id":62619949859165,"sku":null,"price":288.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x750ml IN BOND","offer_id":62620004974941,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/6318\/1149\/files\/XavEtoile.jpg?v=1764354417"}],"url":"https:\/\/bigredwine.co.uk\/collections\/1990-copy-copy-1.oembed","provider":"The Big Red Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
