Domaine Lafage Cayrol Vieilles Vignes Carignan 2021

This is a fragrant, ripe and silky carignan with aromas of wild strawberries, sweet raspberries, red licorice, toasted nuts and dried flowers. Some rosemary stems. Full body, with ripe and creamy tannins, evolving to a grainy presence at the end. Drink now or hold [through 2029+]. Score – 91. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 11, 2022)
