Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe red fruits, spices and dried herb notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum and currants with tobacco and herb spice. Firm rustic drying tannins, lively acidity, medium+ finish ending with complex spicy fruits. Very nice, should age well.

Deep red color with Berry and floral aromas. Despite the warm climate in 2012, the flavors were bright and bold with blackberry and cherry on the palate together with a great mouthfeel of mineral and tannins on a well balanced lingering finish. Very nice. Drinking well now.

Tasty, gamey, and big. Lacked the acid and finesse to lift it up into a new level though. #newworld #chile #carmenere #conchaytoro

A guilty pleasure / blind tasting wine. I like it when the twain shall meet.

Fair amount of spice. Not a bomb. Soft fruit. Not much complexity but very enjoyable.

An excellent example of Carmenere. I don’t particularly like Carmenere, but if you do, this is a good choice. It is more elegant and less tannic than most, with a nice sweet start and tannic finish. The nose is very fragrant and strong.
