Adelson
Rich, smooth structure with a deep, concentrated colour. The nose is driven by by a subtle spice, with a undertone of earthy undertones. The flavours are young and fresh, with a clear emphasis on red and black berry notes, which are expertly even by a understated dryness and a trace of tannin.
Knuth
Unique and captivating wine experience, with a rich flavor profile that defies easy categorization. The initial impression is one of warmth and depth, with a mild spice and intense fruit undertone. The tanginess is pleasant, but not overpowering, and the tannins are moderate, contributing to a silky and cohesive finish. Overall, a wine that is both unexpected and enjoyable, with a certain je ne sais quoi that sets it apart from more familiar options.

Olivier Coste Old Star Carignan Noir is appreciated for its unique and complex flavor profile, featuring stewed fruit, barnyard whispers, and subtle spice. While some enjoy its rich, smooth structure and fresh berry notes, others find it quirky with earthy undertones. The wine offers a pleasant tanginess and moderate tannins, making it both unexpected and enjoyable.
This Carignan Noir presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its robust character. On the nose, it unveils a layered bouquet of ripe blackberries, plum compote, and a hint of wild herbs, underscored by subtle notes of black pepper and anise. The palate is full-bodied, showcasing a harmonious interplay of velvety tannins and vibrant acidity, which elevates its dark fruit core. A mineral edge adds complexity, leading to a long, savory finish with whispers of dried Mediterranean herbs. This wine exemplifies the potential of old-vine Carignan, offering both depth and elegance, ideal for pairing with hearty dishes.
