Really enjoyable. This Chilean Carignan is great to drink now, and will probably be good over the next 3/4 years. So sad that the vines have been destroyed in a major fire that hit the wine region.

Raspberry red color with tinges of pink. Pronounced aromas of plums, smoke and pepper. High acidity, low tannin. On the palate, raspberry, then herbs, later on, evolved to anise, herbs, more raspberry, some funk. Has some brett in there bu gives it character. Wine has kept evolving all throughout the 3 hours it was being drunk. Paired excessively well with Fregola with clams and merguez. The only issue was the wax seal on top of the cork. In any case, would have again, anytime. Ultra versatile wine.

Lovely, got very meaty. Reminded me of Northern Rhone Syrah.
