Shared this with my wine group at an Indian restaurant. Opened, but not decanted for about 45 minutes before pouring. We all liked the Carignane, but felt it was better without the food, as it didn't pair particularly well with the Indian food.

Upon PnP this immediately stood out as not one of your usual suspects. I found it tart and taut. Probably too young but I thought the acidity would match my meal. Sour cherries stood out. Day 2 it had mellowed to what I would consider a simple table wine with cherry still at the forefront. Bottle had high amount of sediment as well. I’d guess this will be better in a couple years but ultimately it is expendable.

Better on Day 1 - I don't think a day in the fridge helped anything here.

After dinner wine. I like this grape and this is well made wine.
