Vieux Carignan

Mid ruby with a rich bouquet of black cherries and blackberries. Dry, good maturing tannins, with spicy strawberries dipped in dark chocolate. 100% 100 year old Carignan from Minervois.

Smells like wet dark soil and blackberries. Tastes dark with a bit of fruit lightening it up in the middle, ends very dry and earthy.

An approachable and enjoyable sipper. Great by the fireplace while watching TV. Cheers 🇺🇸

May 27th, 2017Intensive ruby color, w.medium body & fruit forward with cherry playing key role and maybe granate fruit. Slightly astringent, with good acidity & soft mellow tannins and spicy/herbal finish - great for lighter not spicy food, seems to be more connected with new world. Old carignan vines and clay limestone terroir.
