Review - The Wine Front (May 2023)
"Here’s a charming iteration of Allouran. It’s medium-bodied, a lovely crunch and freshness to it, boysenberry and raspberry, cedar and tobacco, with a nice bit of perfume too. Redcurrant and a smattering of dried herb, some black olive savoury stuff, light chalky feel to tannin, and a bright finish of crispness and good length. It’s understated in a positive way, though it does build up somewhat with time in glass." Gary Walsh 94 points
2020 ALLOURAN
Merlot (77%) dominates the Cabernet Franc (23%) within this gyroscopically balanced wine. Depth of flavour and length are base plates to a elegant and stylish version of Blue Poles Allouran. More crafted as seen in the wines around the township of St-Emilion than the bruising soils near Figeac, this wine has that filigree and pedigree to match. As always – Allourans age beautifully, as will this wine.
