Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright CWM rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

My first taste of an Armenian red, but this one seemed quite international in style. With an Argentinian winemaker and a famous French global wine consultant, this is unsurprising. It was full flavoured with black fruit, coffee and chocolate coated espresso beans, ending with salted licorice. A blend of Syrah, Malbec, Cab Franc and Tannat. Try with duck ragu and tagliatelle. @wrightwineblog

Linda Mertes WSET 2 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

With a label claiming to have crafted wine for 6,200 years! this Armenian wine welcomes a taste of its reputation. A dark ruby blend of mainly Malbec and Syrah, this full-bodied wine has dark fruit and smoke aromas. A long, almost sweet, earthy finish.
The tannins in this wine would showcase any food pairing that go well with Cabernet Sauvignon pairings.

From the Armavir Region in Armenia, Karas 2017 is a full-bodied red blend of 40% Malbec, 40% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot and 10% Tannat. This is a deep, dark red with lots of ripe dark fruit, earthy and smoky on the palate. Pair with games dishes. Karas was co-produced by winemaker Gabriel Rogel with assistance from Michel Rolland. - Community Wine Reviews
