Lirac: Domaine Maby La Fermade Rouge 2009
The red Lirac from Domaine Maby is a failsafe, chest-thumping, crowd-pleaser. Blended from Grenache Noir, Syrah and Mourvèdre it has satisfying scents of red fruit and a concentrated palate of dark plums and cherries with well integrated ripe tannins. It drinks well from bottling but punches well above its modest price tag and can take 5 years bottle-age in its stride.

Yapp Brothers Staff Review - Hamish says:I’ve never opened a bottle of this great wine and been disappointed, it’s consistent, goes really well with beef and is priced to make it regularly onto my dinner table.
