Smells like candied apples
Loads of blueberry, cherry, strawberry - lots of summer fruit. High acidity m, yet calmed with a cube or two of ice. A perfect summer supper, chilled.

So, a French Languedoc old vine Carignan from 100+-year-old vines (12.5% ABV) in Corbieres, shows classic southern French garrigue, sage and rosemary I smell, complex yet much lighter on the palate, these old vine Carignan tonight are both quite fine, though I will say that if you tried these blind side-by-side, it wouldn’t be difficult to identify the Old World vs. New World versions.
