Bramble, beef jerky and soy sauce on the nose. I know!? But very noticeable black fruits on palette. Clean tannins. Kiss of spice. Paired with steak.

Deep ruby with a pronounced capsicum note on the nose, giving way to blueberry and nicely balanced black cherry and blackberry. Medium tannin. Pleasant but nothing special.

Decanter gives this a fair nod, and I can see why.
Cocao powdered tomato stalk wafting in this fall air.
Horehound candy, mint and dark chocolate. Freshly rolled cigar. Mint plum.
A very well put together Carmenere, sophisticated even, pardon me, it do you have any grey poupon?
