Largely consistent with my prior notes. Lots of black pepper on the nose, followed by some black currant. Palate is black currant and plum followed by more black pepper and some more general spiciness. Finishes short. Definitely not declining, but I don’t see any reason to hold your remaining bottles.

On the nose, powerful black pepper backed up with black currant and black cherry. Full bodied with abundant fruit flavor and some spiciness. Short finish, but it's not distracting.

I'm not a huge fan of the varietal which is probably due to being exposed to a sea of standard South American juice. This rose above that experience, offering full body, forward fruit and depth on the palate, and soft tannins in the finish. Enjoyable now and should hold short term.

Still my favorite winery for Carmenere. Nice character but smooth on all my tongue surfaces. Pleasant soft aftertaste.

Mostly consistent with prior notes, but the flavor is shifting a bit towards plum and away from currant. Still a pleasant peppery-ness and spiciness.
