Made predominantly from Carignan vines planted in 1904, with 15% of Grenache, this is a masterpiece of southern soul. While the aromatics start dainty and refined, around wild strawberries and dried herbs, what then emerges is a growling beast, a deep, enthralling wine that spans flavours of smoked meat, smoky berries, tar, bark, juniper and sorrel. Mightily structured, yet somehow not difficult to get your teeth around, it's smooth and slippery, friendly enough for drinking now, but will certainly hold. Aged for six months in concrete tanks and eggs.
