WineGym wrote: 84 points
December 29, 2007 - Alcohol: 14.5%
Cork Type: Synthetic
Nose/Bouquet: nice chocolate aroma with coffee, vanilla and butterscotch in the background
Flavor/Palate: Dry dandelion salad and plum with a hint of fruit flavor. A complex body that is full
Finish: soft generous long
Color: Garnet Red with a purple tinge
Chill Factor: 60 F
Decanter/Breathing time: 60 minutes
Potential: Could Cellar until 2012, but drinkable right away.
Food: Good before, during and after dinner. We drank it with Italian Pasta. Recommend drinking this wine with a meal.
Overall Opinion: This is a Good Carmenère. Although we let it breathe for an hour, we could still taste the 14.5% alcohol. Not that we minded, but we would have ranked this higher. A total wine workout that causes perspiration.1,453 views
