Chateau des Karantes Diamant 2006 Languedoc100% Syrah this is a very limited production of only 1800 bottles. It is aged in 600 litre new French oak barrels for 18 months. Very full-bodied and rich it would wipe the floor with many a Chateauneuf-Du-Pape or Hermitage!
Wine Spectator gives it 92 Points and 'Very refined and precise tasting with dried berry and red cherry flavour that feature notes of sandalwood and savoury herbs. Smoky notes envelop the finish.'
Guide Hachette 2010 gave it 2 Stars, Guide Gilbert et Gaillard 2011 awarded it an impressive 93/100, Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2010 - Gold Medal, Bettane & desseauve 15/20, Bronze Medal at Decanter World Wine Medal Awards 2009.
