Showed initial aromas of funk and leather, but that quickly blew off to show a core of juicy cherry and currant fruit with a core of minerality. This was something special, and showed that these wines can age with proper storage.

A really excellent rendition of Carignan. Dark fruited and with strong tannins, this was at home with red meat. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Showed good pinot characteristics, if a bit more dark-fruited than I like. Little to no oak presence, which was delightful.
