Cool monkey puzzle tree label drew me in. Dark, deep maroon. Blood or bruised plums at sunset. Smells of cigars (not box, actual cigar) and coffee with a hint of mints and red berries. Flavors are more tobacco products and a rich black berry, roasted red pepper streak. Bright and lively in some ways though. This is a great low cost Carmenere. Balanced, big and delicious. And it might even get more exciting and develop some complex subtleties as it get a bit older.
