Good fruit, balance and character. At first shot I got plenty of coffee beans and chocolate. Second bottle, not so present, maybe after it airs out. Delicious, easy drinking

A bit of that peppery spice and snicker richness of fruit cherry and currant berry fruit with dark currant berry fruit spices sweet tobacco and Avery balanced finish. Very good+

Tonight's wine is the 2012 Carmen Gran Reserva Carmenere Apalta Vineyard. I am really getting into these Chilean Carmenere's. I like the richness, smoothness and especially the green notes that really give them character.
The aroma give off wonderful black fruit notes of black plum, black plum, black cherry, black raspberry and black currant.
On the palate we get lots of green bell pepper, and herbaceousness of green peppercorn and then the sour cherry hits with tart raspberries and a good earthiness.
The wine is medium in body with medium + acidity and nice smooth medium tannins. This wine continues on forever that gives you that continued pleasure that makes it all worthwhile.
I will continue to delve into the Chilean Carmenere and enjoy their pleasures.
Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
