The 40% Carignane contributed to a more tannic and dry taste than I like, although others will no doubt praise this, but overall the wine was very pleasant to drink. Decent fruit in a wine of this age.

I've heard of this label but never tried it until now; the Red Belly was a very good wine. Fairly well balanced, fruit forward with nice acidity on the back end. Great everyday wine -- I think I'll buy a few more bottles to have on hand.
