Lives up to its name. Maraschino cherries on the nose. Bright, soft, mild acidity, great with a chill on it - would be perfect on a warm spring afternoon. — 6 years ago
Double-decanted the night before; enjoyed over several hours out of red Solo cups. It’s been several years since my last experience with the 2005 Blanc. The extended air treatment ahead of service is now customary for me with the Blanc and Rosé in particular. The entire bouquet has a chance to unfurl. The wine pours a deep golden color. On the nose, the wine is vinous and recalls my previous experience with the 2005 Blanc: redolent of ripe stone fruits, some dried citrus, wild flower honey, echinacea, marzipan and butterscotch. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long with slightly bitter, testa/skin coat sort of flavor. Fabulous texture. At this rate, I expect well stored cellared examples to drink well beyond my original assessment several years ago. Drink now through 2045+ — 22 days ago

Wet stone, and slight red fruit on the nose. light body, high tannins, medium acid. Smooth red fruits, and bright on the palette. Fantastic wine. VERY dry. — 5 years ago
2022. We loved the 2019 Martha Stoumen Carignan we had this afternoon, so we wanted to try this D&G when we went looking for another bottle. A bit darker fruit flavor and earthier, and took ~15 minutes to open up. A little more tannic bite but paired equally well with leftover kebabs. — a year ago
Carignano 2016. This is the first I’ve had, I’m sold. Like a zin but not so fruity, very good. — 4 years ago
@Tree Kilpatrick said it correctly. We like it a bit more though. For $5 it’s pretty f’n good. — 5 years ago

Last time I tried to add this it didn’t register. One of my favorites, hard to find but worth it. — 12 days ago
