Roast bell pepper and subdued black fruit on the nose. Palate showed notes of plum, clove, black pepper, and earth. Medium body with fine tannins.

A nice example of the depth Chilean Carmenere can offer. This wine has a ton of aging potential and delivers a clean, substantial body w good life in the glass, added to by a small portion of Syrah that rounds out the flavors and puts some chew on this wine.

At 8 years this tasted young at first and needed a good 4 days open in bottle with a stopper to fully open. Once open it was quite nice: good dark fruit, touch of earth, eucalyptus, and good black pepper spice. Carmenere is such a good grape. Yum.

Deep robust flavor compairable to a chianti. Reminds me of green bell pepper.

Color vino oscuro con bastante tanner, fuerte. Como son los vinos sudamericanos . Al principio se siente pesado luego dejo un sabor agradable. Lo acompañe con pasta y Conejo y luego unos chocolates y estuvo bien
