Gran Reserva Maipo Valley Carménère

Black cherry sauce, green pepper, wet dark soil, oil refinery, French oak tannin. A little bit overripe. Not bad for a cheapie.

Way too overpowering even though I let it air 3 hours before drinking it. Won’t buy it again.

A solid base but iff balance. Needs more ageing in barrels. Oak and alcohol are off balance. 20 bucks, probably wouldnt buy again

Very good value wine. Buy it at $17!

Leather, dark cherry, raspberry on the nose with smoke and a touch of menthol. High tannins, a bit gritty, med + acid, smooth finish.

Second time around: Nice red fruits and blackberries on the nose. A bit of leather too. Full bodied and rich. Plenty of fruit. Zippy. Nice and bitter. Very enjoyable.

Explosive nose with fruits and mineral oil. Tobacco on the end. A wine, wine.

Insignificant and unremarkable, fruity with a little spice to it. £18 at #Selfridges

Carménère típico chileno com muito pimentão no nariz, ainda pegando um pouco os taninos
