Sidi Salem Carignan Selian 2003
(Sidi Salem)
The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, moderate
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean and pleasing aromas which
start with hints of cherry and blackberry followed by aromas of plum,
vanilla, tobacco, rose and walnut husk. The mouth has good correspondence
to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however
balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent
with flavors of cherry and plum. Carignan Selian ages for 8 months in
barrique.
