Very strong wet potato - clearly TCA tainted. I did not try to remove the TCA which I will do next time as it doesn't take long to do.

Ignoring the TCA, this has aged too long and has a short finish with moderate tannins but is thin.

Clearly a better wine than the previous Tempranillo even though this is 4 years older. Has a very interesting and confusing bouquet - a light lead pencil, but a very clean one. Also a touch of dry potato with a cleanliness that was softly pleasant. Nice moderate tannins ands ofter acids than often in a Tempranillo.

A hint of the guava on the nose was the classic give away for this Chilean Carmenere. But the guava nose was a lot less pronounced than I ever remember and is probably aging quickly now. A dry short finish.

Light raspberry on the nose. Strong tannins and smooth with a light acid bite in the finish.

When we unveiled later - amazing that this was the 02 and it was better than the 01. Definitely smoother and more rounded with a fuller body.

This wine seems to be thinning and was definitely not as smooth and rounded as the 02. Good moderate tannins but just an OK wine at the moment - maybe it is in a closed period?

This may still be a bit young - definitely different to my last tasting and maybe it just needed more decanting. Nice berries and chocoloate to start but with a little heat from the acidity. Definitely got better as the evening moved on. I will retry some tomorrow or Monday.
