December 12, 2013 - The Carmenere grape had long been believed to be extinct, until it was rediscovered about two decades ago in ChilenAnd this Dark, full-bodied red, from the basic-mid level line of Concha y Toro, is a good representation of itnNice strong tannins balanced by a complex dry but smokey, chocolatey taste.nYou find notes of dark berry, green pepper and jalepeno as well as coffee and blackcherry, some plum and, of course, vanilla from the small oaks.

Smooth & approachable on palate, Dark chocolate, plum and black cherry with hints of oak, with balance of acidity, medium bodied, sweet & soft tannins and rather short finishing. Nice wine to enjoy with lots of fruit flavour.

April 22, 2010 - Wow, this is really great stuff. Nice dark color, enticing dark fruits and cedar on the nose. One word initially comes to mind on the palate--Balance. Really great black and red fruit with supporting tannins, some vanilla cedary oak on the finish which is perfectly balanced with the fruit. 2 questions: How am I going to keep from finishing the whole bottle tonight, and do I have anymore? 90. 2/10/10
