Great nose, I think the carignan acidity came through stronger than I would like.

A fruit bomb, in the best sense of the phrase. There's a lot to attract your attention, or distract it, namely that the very high alcohol kills the mouthfeel. But the rest of the experience is plenty of unrefined fun. Really great with pasta and red sauce!
