TURNER PAGEOT LE ROUGE 2018

The deep purple color caught my eye immediately, and the nose of red and black fruits with a hint of spice is wonderfully inviting. On the palate, it's rich and complex, with the Grenache and Syrah blend shining through beautifully.

The brioche note on the palate really caught me off guard—such a nice twist alongside the dark fruit. Poured a glass with a casual pasta dinner and it held up beautifully, rich but not heavy. This one’s earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

Opened it with lamb chops last night and that brioche note really came through on the finish, alongside the dark fruit. The Grenache-Syrah blend gives it a richness that made the whole meal feel special. Wish I'd bought a second bottle.
