Retail $37. Really Heavy Bottle (771g; 1lb 11.2oz). DIAM10. 100% Carménère. Dark in the glass with spicy red fruit (plum and blackberry) and a definite pyrazine note, but more of a mint or basil than green pepper. The palate is quite fruity, but smooth and well-balanced with fruit and acidity singing well in concert. It finishes with a touch (but only a touch of tannin) and might be a bit hot on the finish. 91 Points.
Delving Into The Rich World of Chilean Carménère: Medium purple color with enticing plum, boysenberry, white pepper, paprika aromas. On the palate, it's light-bodied, and very fresh with supple tannins with plum, boysenberry, raspberry, spice, vanilla and dark chocolate flavors. 100% Carmenere sourced from Lolol vineyard is located 40 kilometers from the ocean. Raised in 58% of the wine was aged in untoasted foudres, and 42% in new and previously used 300-lt French oak barrels for 16 months. 14.5% abv| SRP - $36
