A private dinner (Restaurant Jacobsz, Amsterdam. NL): Mainly Carignan, with some Gernache and Syrah. Forward and juicy, southern generosity, ripe fruit and spices, slightly roasted, light and easy, floral top notes, warm spices, good length. Attractive but slightly vegetal on the finish.

Big but not brash with some fine tuning under the bonnet. A decent offer at a fair price. Stewed brambles with stem, a red currant topping and a sugar core.
