You ever open a bottle that makes you feel dirty? Like, should I even be doing this right now? That’s the 2019 Elyud—and let me tell you, this bottle? It knows. It knows you should be doing something else, but you’re here, pouring another glass, letting it wreck you all over again.
First sip, and it’s already got you. All Grenache—silky, luscious, slow-dripping pleasure. But then? That splash of Syrah comes in hot and dirty, grinding in with just enough spice to make you shiver. Big, black fruit, rich as sin, swelling on your tongue, and all you can do is let it happen.
And here’s the thing—it gets stronger. The longer you wait, the deeper it goes. Let it sit for 30 minutes? Oh, now it’s hitting different. It’s stretching out, filling in, pressing against every inch of your senses, tannins tightening, intensity climbing, fruit getting even juicier. You keep telling yourself one more sip, one more, and then you’ll stop.
You won’t stop.
Pair it with red meat, something messy, something indulgent, or just take the whole thing to bed and don’t bother getting up until it’s done.
Region: France, Languedoc, Corbières Grapes: Grenache & Syrah
