Carmen
Reserva Premier 1850 Carménère
Very surprising wine. Full bodied, notable tannins of plum, currants, cherries and vanilla. Rounded finish. Paired nicely a chicken, sun dried tomato leek dish.

Mar 15th, 2019Typical Carménère from Chile. Herbal nose and somewhat harsh tannins at end. Enjoyable for the price tag

May 25th, 2017Only a year old and tastes a little rough around the edges, but not without character. Full and flavourful, dominated by tart stem and earth on the front, blackberry, heat, and high tannins on the back. Good deal at $15
