“Mixed Bag of Chilean Wines”-Tasting, Wine 4 (non-blind), in December 2013. The wine was dark ruby in colour and offered red fruit, ripe raspberry, cooked red cabbage, leather, tobacco, spices, vegetal notes as well as hints of chocolate, gingerbread, espresso and vanilla on the nose. On the palate the wine showed red fruit, ripe raspberry, spices, clove, dark chocolate and espresso as well as herbal and vegetal notes, paired with medium to medium-plus acidity, medium-level tannin and very good length of the slightly bitter finish. A medium- to full-bodied, balanced, medium-complex, oak-influenced Carménère that may be consumed now, but also showed potential for further development with moderate cellaring. Would have guessed South Africa. Much better on day two than on day one.

big and bright, typical carmenere. it's good but not my style. lots of up front flavours, mid palate is almost non existent, finish has a nice coffee note.

Weekly tasting group RWP #355: Some random wines (@ DJ): Dark berries, licorice, oak and leather, a lot of acidity and concentration. Chocolate. Good acidity. Beautiful wine.

OK, but a little bit 'sharp' - dominant alcohol.
