The first of two Carignan-based releases, the 2006 Corbieres Rozeta is suffused with tart red and black raspberry, brine-like salinity, and smoked meat. Palpably extract-rich but with prominently mouth-coating if fine-grained tannins, this opens up nicely as it takes on air, and finishes with sappy cling.
