2008 Château Ollieux Romanis Atal Sia, Corbières Boutenac, Languedoc-Roussillon

( £17, 14%, The Wine Society )

Sourced from the best area of the Corbières, this Carignan-based blend is a stunner, exhibiting aromas of lavender, mint, rosemary, plum and blackberry, with serious, ageworthy tannins and an unmistakeable whiff of garrigue. Essence of the south of France. And another wine that has aged extremely well.
