Winner here for me! I'm not the only one though - most reviews similar and this won 2011 WA awards for category...this may be a year out in vintage, but delivers for the "steep" price of 30$ CAN. I bought the '09 to keep for a year. Buy more!
Oh ya - nose was deep and dark with some oak in there and brambly fruit. A little smokey spice. Palate was rich with juicy dark fruit, smooth acid/tannin. Finish is loooong - transitioning to a little smokey/oaky note. Balanced, and put together. Just darn tasty without a doubt.

Enjoyed this as always but drank this for the first time without food and a noticeable difference impression. Definitely a wine to be enjoyed with the right pairing.

The '08 Single Vineyard Don Maximo bring loads of fresh blackberry and currant along with dusty green herbs, tobacco, leather, petrol, chocolate and loamy soil notes. The tannins are round and supple and the finish is long and mouthwatering. The is a delicious Carménère and an excellent value rolling in at under $20! (Drink 2011-2015) - JD91+
