Very good, particularly given the price point. Reasonably fruit forward, but with enough structure to keep it from "fruit bomb" status. Not quite as good on day 2 after vaccuum seal. Generally a good crowd pleaser with that i would proudly serve to a gathering of wine novices.

Young and vibrant ruby, carmine red, quite dense. Fairly balanced combination of aromas between barnyard and raspberries, with medium intensity. Fair intensity of fruit upon entrance, with good weight, fairly linear throughout the palate, low complexity, good character, nice structure balancing flavors of wild cherry and dark berries, with very dark flavors at the end, and balanced acidity. Young, fruit forward, mouth watering, though a bit boring. Intense character of Carmenere. Fairly well balanced. QPR.

Perfect provenance.
No notes taken.
Decanted 1 hr.
Nice big smooth Carmenere. Clay, plum, leather, boysenberry and light cherry. 1.5% body. 35 second finish.
One of the better Carmeneres I have had.
