Great value here for this lovely dry farmed Carignan (with Mourvedre in support), from the Maule Valley. Still some spryness despite eight years of age and in a prime drinking window. Enjoy now through 2021. Complex with aromas and flavours of red berry, red plum, cherry, spice, cinnamon, sanguine iron, earth and meat (Mourvedre), and a touch of green. Very good depth of fruit, with softening tannin, bright acidity and excellent length. Aug. 2018.

A blend of 60-year-old Carignan (80%) and Mourvèdre (20%) that was dry farmed, this has a lovely medium-high intensity nose with pretty floral, clove, purple fruit and sweet spices. The medium-full bodied palate has blackberry, brambly and sweet spice flavours supported by very good acidity and good tannic structure. Finish length is excellent. Best over the next 3-4 years. Tasted Nov/2016. Score: 90+ pts
