Community Tasting Note

• Francois Le Mouel Likes this wine: 89 points

  September 25, 2018 - Good Carmenere, but 2 notches below the one from Black Hills. Not as fresh, less balanced and alcohol is a bit too noticeable on the finish. Worth trying, but I wouldn't buy again. Drink within the next 3 years.
