I enjoyed this! Some more time in the cellar seems to have cured the ills mentioned by previous commenters. Smooth, mellow, with well-rounded tannins. Medium finish, not very spicy, but a nice flavor blend of red and black fruits. I would totally buy this again - too bad I have no idea where it originally came from.

Carignane Blend consumed over brunch with a cheese plate and a few pates. A decent quaffing wine, but I did not take formal notes. Exhibited a medium body and spicy fruit profile. I am splitting the other two ratings as this was not sensational, nor was it a disaster.
