Terra Mater, Magna limited reserve, carmenère, DO valle de curicó, 2015
Opened yesterday and it was too oaky and all over the place. 24 hours later it's settled and the wine is presenting itself in a much better way. It's even not bad at all! The nose shows blackberry, coconut, vanilla, oak, coffee, tar. The palate is very rounded with blackberry, cocoa and coffee notes, some width and almost a lactic touch. The tannins are well integrated now and leave a silky layer over the finish that goes on for a reasonable time. It's reminiscent of a nice Bordeaux except for that coconut scent on the nose. For about 11 USD in a supermarket nearby it's a steal!
