Côtes Catalanes, Roussillon, Languedoc Roussillon, France
Thanksgiving wine- Catalanes red, 65% Carignan & 35% Syrah done up nice & dense almost like a baby CDF but less raspberry & more dark berry. Drank a 100% Carignan right after so interesting to compare. Very good & fresh style, but still more brooding & extracted given the Syrah I imagine. Throws off sediment so worth a decant. Rosenthal book.

Carignan dons a Catalanian coat, with her trusty companion Syrah @bartartine @jaylatham

Спелая вишня, черника, райские яблочки, в развитии свекла, гарриги, оливки, смола, ощутимый минеральный тон. Среднее тело с яркой, но мягкой кислотностью и молодыми, но укрощенными танинами. Сочно, ягодно и естественно, готово уже сейчас, хотя способно и полежать. Выразительно и честно, с собственным характером, чуть рустично, не очень комплексно, без больших сюрпризов, однако довольно быстро исчезает в бокале.

Solid Syrah blend. Smooth. Perfect with the pork chop 👌🏾

Dec 15th, 2015Whooohoo! Right after opening, it was velvety and warm, with a slight graphite note that I liked. Fruit was dominant but not jammy. The velvety mouthfeel and the graphite faded within 4 hours, it became a little watery but still good with some crisp acidity. Lots of sediment, so decant it well but don't aerate a lot, that's my tip.

Wow. What a Syrah based wine! Very intensive aromas of black olives in the nose. Very elegant in the mouth.
