  Decanted 45 minutes. Purple fruit, molten grape Nerds candy, fresh tree/bush sap, herbal, typical exotic sweet note two-thirds of the way through the nose. Nice, tangy, purple fruit palate, sweet tobacco/papaya, wild plum and blackberry. Acidity is starting to settle down, very nice balance, deft oak treatment, subtle tea-like tannins. Great stuff. Drink now-2018.

  As prior notes, dark & dense. Bold, deep flavor with herbaceous, earthy notes.

  This is very nice. Dense, deep color. Lots of dark, ripe fruits, intense spice and herbs. Firm structure. Nice inexpensive Carmenere.

  Awesome wine and a great value. Dark, nearly opaque. Similar notes to my 9/26/2012 note.
