The 2018 Cotes Du Roussillon Villages Lilac Wine checks in as a mix of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Carignan that was brought up in larger wooded tanks. Deep purple-colored with lifted notes of blueberries, violets, lavender, and garrigue, this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, voluptuous texture, and a great finish. It's a soft, decadent blend that has loads of character. Drink it over the coming 4-6 years.
Carrel's 2019 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Lilac Wine is a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Carignan, sourced from the Agly Valley. Hints of licorice season blueberries and cracked pepper on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is mouthfilling, rich and just a touch warm, finishing with hints of dark chocolate and cocoa powder tannins. Drink it young.
