Maule Valley, Central Valley, Chile
This lovely Carmenere was quite seductive. It was reinforced with a touch of petit Verdo and resulted in a black ink color. It is full and rich body and nose;-) the nose is tempting and complex with layers of green pepper, cherries, prunes, black current, chocolate and licorice. The body is big and bold, full of fruits and solid tannins, the finish is long and dry and this one clearly needs more cellaring time. My score 88+, drink 2016-2022
