  Certainly past the peak now. Fruit and tannins have faded and we are full tertiary, maybe a hint of black peppercorns on the finish. But saved by a nice mellow profile--this is easy drinking. Drink yesterday.

  When first opened this was all earthy & mushroom. Deep, lush fruit. After a few hours it disintegrated into strong VA with a mean green streak. A bit of a disappointment here.

  This really surprised me: I wasn't expecting much as previous attempts at Carmenere were somewhat disappointing -- green and unrefined. But this one has much more depth, jammy, with vanilla, and a really soft and pleasant mouth feel and earthy throughout. The nose is the only thing that is still kind of off-putting... Wet gym bag? Spilled water in the trunk? Whatever, the taste makes up for it! Maybe time in the bottle is what Carmenere needs?

  Dark fruit with some burnt rubber added in. Interesting.
