Domaine Lafage Tessellae Carignan Vieilles Vignes 750Ml

The 2017 Cotes Catalanes Tessellae Carignan (100% Carignan) comes from the Agly Valley and was brought up all in tank. Blackberries, leather, dried herbs, and licorice notes all emerge from this spicy, medium-bodied, silky Carignan that has terrific purity and elegance. It's another wine from Jean-Marc that over-delivers. 91 Points Jeb Dunnuck
