Petit Paradis de Qanafar 2018

Deep ruby colour. Bouquet practically non-existent save some vanilla.
In the mouth, a warm, welcoming embrace of milk chocolate and hazelnut.
There's a little backbone of tannin accompanying the soft flavours, which have an appreciable length of staying power.
Shame about the bouquet....4 years ago, I noted .... beguiling floral notes.
However, this is the nicest wine I have tried in quite a while.

Excellent, I asked you to look at Lebanese wines and you came up with some wonderful ones!

Deep with blackcurrant & light spice. Slightly buttery. Another lovely Lebanese red to add to our list!

I had the foresight to open this wine well in advance of drinking it. I also decanted it, which too was a good move. Long in the mouth, yet with soft tannins and a gentle fruitiness. Enjoyed with rump steak, forest mushrooms and intense garlic butter. All in all a happy pairing, though I am sure this is a wine that could be enjoyed without food.

A wine that you really have to pay attention to, decant decant decant, sediment galore but nothing a wine filter and some time in the glassware didn't take care of.

I would also suggest giving it a good glug of air to start, leaving it with some patience will pay off. There are indeed, as other have said, a strong mix of red fruits, tannins and punch to this (expect nothing else from Eddy), but sometime stretching its legs will pay off.

We shared this over a meal in one of our favourite "not unless its a special evening" restaurants, where I was treated to a birthday meal, the bonus being this is a BYOB higher end kinda place :)

If you are looking for something a little different and don't' mind something that bites back a bit at first give it a bash, this is the little brother to the bigger Qanafar but don't let it be overlooked.

Excellent Lebanese wine. Good value.

Sublime! I am impressed.

Brilliant

powerful wine, one not to guzzle!
It went really well with a mezze meal, I'm looking forward to the next vintage becoming available!
