A nice surprise - full of black berries and pepper, as expected, but also with vanilla and chocolate, due to its ten-month-aging in French oak barrels. Very elegant tannins, very elegant wine. Uma bela surpresa, com muitas frutas negras e pimenta, como esperado. Mas também com uma explosão de baunilha e chocolate, por conta dos 10 meses em barricas francesas. Taninos elegantes e macios. Um vinho muito gostoso.

Dark plums, roasted coffee beans, smoke, warm barrel spice, and blackberry fruit merge together in this reasonably priced (under $20) bottle of 2009 Medalla Real Carménère from @SantaRitaEst. A bit meaty and fleshy, this wine is best enjoyed with smoked, cured, or grilled meats.

Smoke, wood, green pepper, and blackberries. Solid, as far as I'm concerned
