Laarman Focal Point Cinsault 2018

The colour is bright red cherry colour, on the nose vibrant with some white pepper and blue berries and Cardamom. There is also a savoury character in the mid pallet showing some thyme. The finish is fuller than 2017 vintage with some Pomegranate flavours with soft tannins.

Cinsault is known to go with a lot of different foods. You can pair it with escargot, stew, hot smoked salmon filets, braised and roasted meat dishes. Oven roast chicken and a lovely slow roast leg of lamb.
