Very Old Vines Vin de Pays de L'Aude Carignane

So I wanted to try some very old carignan from Beziers bc what could be cooler than that!? 😏🙄. And Whole Foods said it was a foodie wine at $7.99. I'm reminded of how much I like Beaujolais from Fleurie while drinking this. Totally decent table wine with some Beziers garrigue and do I taste a twist of licorice? That shows promise... Got a lower rating not bc it's "not for me" but bc I feel like being snobbish.

Light, fresh, fruity; some oak apparent after a few minutes in glass; decent acid and just a little tannin. For $7, very decent, food friendly wine.
