Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A blend of Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of blackberry, currant, and dark spices, with hints of smoke and a savoury note. Full bodied, with some grippy tannins and medium acidity on the palate. Fruit flavours are ripe and flavourful, and there is a hint of smoky spice on the finish. Enjoy with cured duck charcuterie or other rich cured meats and firm cheeses.
Château Ksara Réserve Du Couvent 2017 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah red wine blend with ripe dark fruit, earthy, mineral and pepper spice flavours on the palate. Pair with grilled lamb. - Community Wine Reviews
