Black cherries and a hint of spice, easy tannins and no perceptible oakiness. Nice pairing for roasted chicken. Still pretty tight so give it air for 30+ minutes to let it open.

Super juicy black and blue fruit, with a funky-cheese retro-nasal thing going on. Trust me, that's a good thing.

Brambly berries, leather, game, flowers, menthol, baked earth. Exhibits the wild side of Carignane yet remains balanced and elegant.

Tight out of the bottle. Dark red color with some clarity, smell of rubber on the nose. Opens up after 20 minutes in the glass. Red fruits, tart cherry, good acid and balance, reminiscent of Beaujolais. Clean and well made, better with food.
