Initial nose of black cherry, dust and something sharp and green. Develops chocolate in the glass--a big dose of carmenere in the blend would explain the green and chocolate elements. Spice and earth emerge come next. Would drink remaining sooner than later but on the whole this is balanced and pleasant, especially so for a $12 Chilean (probably wholesale price, but still).
