Roes Carignan 2017, Oinotropai Winery

Roes Carignan 2017, Oinotropai Winery

Date Tasted: 5/2020

It is a delicious wine and one of my favourite vintages. 

Appearance: The colour is pale ruby with purple hues.

Nose: Intense aromas, mostly red fruits and herbs in harmony, though it needs time and air to open up. 

Palate: Sour cherry and jam berries on the palate, high acidity, high velvety tannins, high well-defined alcohol, medium to full body and medium aftertaste. 

Drink or Hold: It is a glorious vintage for ageing. 

Food Pairing: It will pair perfectly with eggplant in the oven with tomato sauce and Kalamata olives.
