Full dark crimson color. Very nicely balanced. Some vanilla oak, tobacco, anise, white pepper. First couple hours a bit thin and tart finish, opened up after that. Definitely could go a few more years.

Wow this has to be the best 100% Carmenere I have ever had....and the price!
Nose: Aromas of blackberry and currants battle with black pepper spice and smoky grilled red bell pepper.
Palate: Blackberry and plum, creamy oak, spicy black pepper. Rich and medium to more full bodied. Smooth and round tannins, great acidity, nicely done, very round and complete wine.

Garnet to dark garnet color in the glass, slightly opaque looking. Nose of cedar, plum and cigar box. Flavors of black berries, black cherries and a bit of plum. Medium acidity, tannins and body. Drink or hold.

Excellent effort. The best of the last 3 vintages I've tried. (2005, 2006, 2007)
