La Mariole Vieilles Vignes Red Blend 2019
It sounds like a very enjoyable side by side 🍷🍷
@Dave, it was, I marginally preferred the Liocco tonight, my wife the La Mariole. Interesting to me was that the CA wine was totally clean, zero sediment, while the French wine had a fair crust on the side of the bottle. Both were quite enjoyable, and if my way better half was doing the ratings, the French wine (Vin de Table, BTW, not Corbieres) would have been 3 points better than the Lioco!

Corbières Maccabeu 2021
A perfect white wine. Minerality, slight lemon, dry finish. Perfect with our braised salmon dinner. — 5 months ago

La Compagnon Corbières Red Rhone Blend 2015
Great nose: raw dry-aged strip steak, crushed rocks, peppercorns, oozy dark berry sap. Dense and minerally, this is soft-textured but with loads of tannic scaffolding. Long, clingy, minerally finish. Because it’s from Corbieres, the acids are a bit lower than, say, a Northern Rhône Syrah, but other than that it would be a dead ringer for a Syrah from that region. Great value. — 8 years ago

So, a French Languedoc old vine Carignan from 100+-year-old vines (12.5% ABV) in Corbieres, shows classic southern French garrigue, sage and rosemary I smell, complex yet much lighter on the palate, these old vine Carignan tonight are both quite fine, though I will say that if you tried these blind side-by-side, it wouldn’t be difficult to identify the Old World vs. New World versions. — a month ago
