What reviewers say
“A carignan, perform well above my expectations. Taste notes of black currant, plum, strawberry, pepper, tobacco and earth. Full body with rather high acidity. Quite dry and powerful. Ok length with nice after-tastes. A neat presentation with elegant tannins. Well balanced. An easy sip, yet complex and diverse. Not very aromatic, kind of closed. Dark red color. Just so absurdly good QPR. Just 89 kr, and it is go nice? Sure still it is still an entry level. House wine material. 3.9⭐️ Cheers! 🍷💫”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Beautiful dark red colour tinged with violet. Aromas of red and black fruit (blackcurrant,strawberry) along with spicy notes of incense and light tobacco. Fresh on the palate with silky, elegant tannin's and lovely roasted notes of coffee and chocolate.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Abbotts & Delaunay Vieilles Vignes Carignan lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · France (1,134 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,621.
