  this is a very big wine with a very strong aroma of coffee upon opening followed by the taste of gooseberries, which after 20 mins or so became cassis, tomato leaf, woodland berries etc.

  Medium weight, balanced, elegant fruit with fine-grained tannins.
  Good alone or with food.
  The lack of lift and complexity is due to the varietal grape.
  The winemaker knows how to make quality wine.

  Very easy to drink wine that went quickly. Had a cheap Chilean cab last night that had the trademark green, and it was strong, this Carmenere does have that classic green but is much more elegant with a hint of perfume, cumin, and plum. The palate was juicy high acidity with red fruit, tree bark, cream, perfume, sweet bell pepper and plum. The perfume does take over the green note. Very food-friendly wine but it's missing depth.
