Chateau Carignan 1999
Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux, Cotes de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, FranceFine attractive smoky-oak, vanilla nose with black cherry jam, cassis and a touch of licorice and orange rind. Moderately rich and round, with smoky toasty oak, plum and blackberry flavours with a peppery, vanilla finish. It's showing a lot of oak at this stage suggesting it requires an additional two to four years of aging to round out the tannins and integrate the oak.
