La Mariole Vignes Centenaires Carignan


Unabashedly old world. Firm acids still in this ancient vine carginan. Good with chard/raisin/anchovy/pepper flake pasta and braised fennel

Deep purplish ruby red. Very dirty in the nose, earthy, leather, a little funky, forest floor, floral and dark cherries. Well balanced acidity with low to medium tannins (4.5/10). Super dry with flowers, leather, dark cherries and a touch of gravel. Long finish. Good food wine. Drink till 2020.

Intense purple color. Nice earthiness on the nose. Acid for sure. Fit and trim. A summer wine I think

Inky, dense and pretty long. 2014 needs ample air as it shows a potentially troubling level of CO2. A good firm decant opens the nose a bit, but better on day two. Nose very mineral or particularly dense as Priorat or good St Chinon may be. Good value.
