Quick decant. Nose of red fruits and sawdust. Juicy palate delivers a melange of right cherry, tart plum, orange marmalade with a slight tingly lift. Medium tannins, earth, fresh sage, and bay leaf on the finish.

A vibrant deep purple exploding with a vigorous grapey plum and blackberry nose. Those aromas follow through in the taste joined by a rich earthiness and rich mouthfeel. Medium tannins but a rich acidity. A fun one to serve to guests who have never had a Carignan.

Medium intensity purple. On the nose medium intensity aromas of earth, black currant, cherry yogurt, cigar box. On the palate the wine is dry with high acidity, medium plus fine ripe tannins, medium plus body. Flavor intensity is medium plus with earth, black currant, cherry yogurt, cigar box, slaty minerality. Finish lingers with earth and black fruit. A very pleasing wine and could go some years still.

PnP. Iridescent purple with big legs. Nose shows big grapey purple fruits, alcohol, and oak. Mineral-drenched purple fruits with blueberry pie, baked raspberries, touch of blood orange, and a wall of acidity. Prickly tannins clamp down on the finish, adding tart black fruit, chicory, fresh oregano, rosemary stems, and chalky earth. Interesting wine.

Great Carignan. Bright fruit, nice complexity, and good body.
