  Ripe, sweet, jammy black fruits, sweet spice and oak, with some herbaceousness and smokiness, grippy but well-integrated tannins, balanced with mouth watering acidity. A superb example of Chilean Carménère, complex, intense, balanced, with good length. Drink or hold.

  The nose on this wine was delectable. Pungent notes of fresh blackberries, cassis, pepper, loam and some floral overtones. Full, rich palate with juicy dark fruit and mouthwatering acidity. Excellent length. A fun wine made in a very crowd-pleasing style, but there is no denying the quality of fruit and winemaking here. I loved it.

  Popped and poured. Big fruit upon initial opening, but mellowed out after 30 minutes to become more balanced. Nice mouthfeel and finish. Still plenty of life left.

  Just really not sure about this wine. Just seems all disjointed. Really no better on Day #2 or 3
