Cool wine, a collaboration between Ron Laughton of Jasper Hill and Michel Chapoutier (of M. Chapoutier:P) 60% Carignane, 20% Syrah, 20% Grenache. This thing is RIPE(15%abv). Aromas show extracted fruit, raisin tinged plum and raspberry with fresh herb, mint and tobacco. Very silken and round on the toungue, a deftness that belies the high gravity, lots of raisin, plum, dried currant and tobacco. At first taste, I wanted to dislike this wine but as is it showed it depth the quality was undeniable. Kind of an oddity, definitely tastes like Roussillon done Aussie style.
