Calmel & Joseph - Terroirs - Vieux Carignan 2015
17/20
Jancis Robinson
Slightly peppery on the nose, Calmel & Joseph's Vieux Carignan is supple on the palate. With notes of ripe black fruit and garrigue, typical of the grape variety, it asserts itself with greediness. Made from century-old Carignan vines, it's an excellent value for money.
