  June 16, 2012 - Dark ruby with a medium+ intense nose.
  
  Positives: I'm not usually a Carmenere fan because a lot out there is boring. Well this is anything but featuring cedar, bramble fruit pie, tobacco, dried fig, mesquite, spiced apple, peppers (red, black & white), truffles, plums & ripe tamarind. Full body with medium tannins, good acidity & long length.
  
  Negatives: There's heat coming from the 15% alcohol.
  
  Drink now or in the next 5 years on its own as a meal or pair it with venison.
  
  Tasted: 16 June 12
  
  Best Buy
  
  Score: 9+/10, Value: 9.5/10, Total: 19/20
  
  Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 4.5
