Tasting Notes: It has a fresh, floral bouquet with expressive Carignan that is in synergy with the fellow grape varieties. There is a touch of bacon fat developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft entry and good weight in the mouth. There is a slight dustiness on the entry, but it opens with a nicely composed chocolate finish that would benefit from a little more backbone. But it has great character and harmony, and the acidity lends it vivacity and tension.
