  Château Carignan Rosé Blend Bordeaux Rosé Rosé 2007

  Snoothrank:

  Compared to the L´Orangerie from 2005 (wich was outstanding in price/value) this wine is comparably flat. It has a similar fruitiness but without any strength and body. Read More

  I am just starting to explore French reds.The few Cotes du Rhones that I have tried all seem to be more appealing the second day after having been opened. Maybe I need to try some older vintages that have had a chance to age? So far, most of these examples have been from 2007 and they seem to be overly tart (tannic?).I just tried a Bordeaux fo...

  Château Mont Milan Corbières Ac 2007

  Snoothrank:

  From another thread:GregT: " Oh it makes my ears bleed. I need to go and drink a bottle of Sang de Cailloux"Dmcker: "So what's the 'terroir' for the blood of stones? Great naming for a domaine.
