Thierry Richoux Irancy 2019

Nia Okafor — Decent midweek upgrade

7/10

Normally I'm a £10-15 bottle person but fancied treating myself. It's good — dark berry flavours, dry finish, no rough edges. The 14% ABV does sneak up on you though. Probably better saved for a weekend honestly.

Erik Strom — Nice but bit pricey for what it is

7/10

It's a solid red, don't get me wrong. Dark fruit, earthy, clean finish. But £35.75 for an Irancy? I've had Burgundy at this price point that gave me more excitement. Would happily drink it again if someone else was buying.

Diana Cruz — Reliable and easy to enjoy

8/10

Second time buying this. It's just really well balanced — enough fruit to be interesting, enough acidity that it doesn't feel like jam. The mineral thing on the finish is a nice touch. Had it with a beef stew and it was spot on.
