The fourth release of Brioni’s Blend, Mataro takes the lead here with Touriga and Shiraz in full and dedicated support. Alive with spices one would almost feel transported to a Middle Eastern market. Pomegranate seeds, juiced beetroots and blackberries are followed by sumac spices and baked clay followed by a more languid palate with dusty tannins and rolling acidity. This is a drink for spice marinated meats sitting in pillows of flatbreads
