Chateau Carignan Prima 2000
Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux, Cotes de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, FranceLook for a ripe, plum, cherry jam and anise nose with lots of coffee vanilla, leather and barnyard notes. Supple structure with richness and ripe tannins. Big coffee, vanilla, smoky oak anise, cherry jam and tobacco flavours. A bit warm but quite elegant and long. Very modern, ripe Bordelais style with some balance for early consumption but it should easily improve in bottle for another five years. The blend is 75/25 merlot/cabernet sauvignon.Tasted: 13 July 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $47.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
