Polished crimson with blueberry and cinnamon aromas, which are also dominant in the palate, finished with a touch of vanilla and clove. The wine has a medium/full, and smooth texture.

It's a very interesting wine. It has inky purple colour - in fact, i've never seen anything like it. at 14.5%, it packs a punch, but it's not a 'Big' wine by any mean. it is fruity on the nose with scent of ripe dark cherry and blueberry that carry through to the palate with a soft tannin, and coffee finish.

Thought this was a beautiful wine. A bit of wild earthy barnyard stink on the nose, but the main players here a dark berries, herbs and spice. Good level of mouthfilling fruit with some savoury tannin and good length. I agree better than the very good 2010 - a bit more lively and complex and a higher level of excitement.

Not very familiar with Carignan but this was delicious. Balanced, smooth with a good length.

Much preferred this to the 2010. More weight and structure. Should improve in the medium term.
