The 2007 Amplus Old-Vine Carignan exhibits an intriguing nose of exotic spices, balsamic, earth notes, underbrush, plum, and boysenberry. This is followed by a medium- to full-bodied, concentrated, slightly rustic offering with plenty of up-front flavor, some complexity, and a lengthy finish. It is likely to evolve for 2-3 years but can be approached now. Importer: TGIC Importers, Woodland Hills, CA; tel: (818)225-5100

Bold, dark, full and saucy, with aromas of plum and blackberry. Jammy but lively on the palate, with vanilla sweetness offsetting plum, blackberry, leather and savory notes. This is true Peumo Carignan with potency and blazing acidity. It’s not as flavorful and complete as the 2006, but maybe it just needs another year or two in bottle. ——M.S.(12/1/2010)—— 89
