Saturday, November 10, 2012 - Appearance: Bright and clear, deep ruby in color, with paler tinge and legs.
Nose: Clean, medium intensity, with developing aromas of blackberry, plum, green bell pepper, mint, dark chocolate, cigar box and smoke.
Palate: Dry with medium and lively acidity, medium (+) tannin of ripe and grippy texture, the wine has medium (+) alcohol and medium (+) body, showing medium intensity flavors of blackberry, plum, green bell pepper, slightly smoky and cedar, finishing with medium length.
Conclusion: Good quality high-priced Chilean Carmenere with a reasonably intense and complex nose, showing black fruit and some herbaceous, plus oak and maturity characters. A ripe but grippy tannin accompanying the warming alcohol, this full-bodied wine has also reasonably intense and complex palate, finishing with a reasonable length. Ready to drink now and has potential for ageing of another 3-5 years.
