medium deep ruby with a garnet tinge developing. Lifted autumnal berry nose, taut, with a hint of mushroom and a pleasant acetic twang too. the palate shows characteristic Carignan toughness and a firm tannic finish but it is beautifully integrated and has some elegance too. Moderate length but a classy number.

Not that perfumed by the standards of great Burgundy but a wonderful, silky mid-palate.
