  A stunning Carménère!
  Nez ouvert de vernis, d'encens, de notes végétales et minérales, de sous-bois, et de cassis...un nez complexe. Souple, rond et fondu. Ample et fruité...saveurs de fruits mûrs et d'épices...'spicy oak'. Texturé (umami) avec des tannins fins. Longue finale sur des notes de chocolat noir. Impressionnant ! Prêt à boire. 93++

  Happy Carmenere Day! Out of the bottle was extremely closed so Decanted for three hours.
  
  Nose shows heavy notes of new oak with vanilla, chocolate and tobacco. Black cherry, black plum and blackberry intermingle with cedar and perfume.
  
  Full-bodied and muscular with spicy high alcohol and weight on the back of the palate.
  
  Flavours of green bell pepper, black plum, cedar, baking spice and spicy black pepper.
  
  Good now with a long decant but better to let this sleep. Will open next bottle in 2025!
