Drank with beef tenderloin Xmas Day dinner. Fruit and earth on the nose. Balanced palate of fruit, earth, tobacco, and acidity with a lingering finish. There was a little funk when first opened but it mellowed after about 45 minutes.

Enjoyed this distinctively carmenere until it gave out a terrible headache. The boiled peas nose is memorable and quite pleasant. Too bad I won't ever want to touch this again given the headache.

Drank over 3 days. Best on night 2 after some air. Significant funk, tar, and burnt rubber. Dark cherry cough drops. Medium to full bodied. Smooth tannins. Overall interesting wine but the wife didn't like the funkiness.

Excellent value at $14.37/bottle at Le Matin in Lexington. On the second day, it showed distinct flavors of Luden's cherry cough drops, along with bell pepper, blackcurrant, coffee, and the other flavors one expects from a Chilean Carmenere. Good stuff.
