Black fruits, spice box, cinnamon, cocoa, kiss of animal and funkiness. Nice body with very juicy profile. Good texture/drinkability. 140 carignane vines! More feral Carignane funk on day 2

Distinctly Carignan, but seemingly dissonant wine. Fruit is clean and crystalline, bright and spicy with nice leanness, but the tannins feel gritty and green. Close but no cigar

Pretty fruit and florals up front countered by dirt and spice on the finish. Nice acid.

Blackish fruit with some tannins at the very end. Pleasant, if a bit thin, wine Iā€™d drink with apps or a lighter meal.
