  Medium ruby purple, very pronounced notes of sandalwood, coffee, tobacco, menthol on the palate, almost heavy, super intense. The palate is hot, alcohol not so high but burns, ripe black cherry and cassis, concentrated, good acidity snd tannins, long finish, very well made wine, i would have loved to have less heat on the palate

  Intense aromas of black, spicy, sweet, fruit. Some leathery and meaty notes too. Peppery. Lifted, slightly menthol. Palate is just as intense, though has a polished edge to it. A touch hot from the alcohol maybe. But lingers for a very long time.

  A very fun wine to drink and discuss; the group didn't have a lot of experience with Carmenere. Enjoyed by a wide range of palates. Tannins nicely rounded, oak reasonably integrated on the palate although after time in the glass it became a bit heavy on the nose. At a nice point in its evolution.

  We decanted the wine for about one hour. It was dark purple in colour and offered intense red and black currant aromas, spices, espresso, and roasted coffee beans, and even some floral aspects on the nose. On the palate the wine started with intense red and black currant and berry flavours, followed by a spicy mid-palate, then red and black currant and spices again, paired with vanilla, mocha and some liquorice on the medium to long finish. The wine felt smooth, sweet and creamy, with phenomenal balance. A hedonistic wine, very well made and certainly great if you like this style. Would I spend EUR 60.- to EUR 100,- for that wine again? Honestly? I would probably prefer to go for a Pauillac instead...
