Classic and forward nose of ripe blackcurrant, toasted gooseberries, licorice, clove and dried herbs. Palate is rich and fruity. Earthy, gravel and old leather defined the end of the full-bodied structure. Fresh and linear. Finish is clean and long. Ready to drink now and for the next 5 years.

Tasted this wine at the Walkabout Tasting at Crystal Wines - Valley Point Chilean Extraordinaire.
Ash on the nose followed by ripe cherries and a smooth palate. In the glass, the wine shines bright like a ray of sunshine in early summer, providing good warmth, comfort without the scorching heat and sunburnt.
Keep for the next 3 to 5 years before even thinking about opening the next bottle.

What a waste of money! We didn't get much taste even when it finally opened after two hours. Big, but tasted like a generic red. At least I can lay my curiosity about Carmenere to rest, as I did with Malbec. On that basis, I guess it was worth it. We will stay home with CA wines at reasonable prices.

At the tasting....
Color. Dark red.
Nose. Green pepper, green Chile's, spices
Palate. Cherries, blackberries, tannins, yummy, but way too dry.

Saturated cassis, eucalyptus, boxwood, and smoky mineral nose. Solid, rich, and weighty palate with very good replays and length.
4.5/5
