A deep, shiny ruby colour with a spicy nose of brambly black fruit and cassis. The palate is juicy, with ripe fruit knit together with chalky, lightly chewy tannins. The core is intense, lightly oily and ripe with fruit, accented with some wood spice. Carignan continues to deliver superb value for money, linking Bordeaux's traditional chalky, cool black fruit with a juicy, moreish approachabillity. Drink over the coming 5-8 years.
Cloves, black plums, olives and iron on the nose, followed by a dark-fruited, juicy and medium-bodied palate. Medium-firm tannins. Fresh at the end. 70% merlot, 20% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc. Try in 2027.
