Description

Old-vine Carignan, red wine, DO Montsant

Tasting Note:
Color: Deep Ruby with viscous tears.
Nose: Tart red fruits (cherry and pomegranate), spice (liquorice, cardamom), ripe fruits (orange peach), and notes of liquor (cassis) and laurel.  Enticing.
Palate: Velvety entry, great concentration and freshness, with recurring tart red fruits.  Mature tannins provide structure and freshness.  The acidity balances the sweeter notes of blueberry and cherry, all backed with a present mineral in the form of graphite.  The wine opens to spice and herbal notes (cardamom, anise, dark chocolate, nutmeg).  Lighter notes of smoke and iodine provide nuance.  A full-bodied wine with enviable freshness.

This 100% Carignan gives us the opportunity to enjoy the essence of the varietal.  Tipicity with intensity, potency, color, fruit and freshness.  It’s quite surprising how fresh and enticing this varietal can be!
