Carmenere from Chile
Review Date : 06-Dec-2022
Deep, ruby-red with a black hue, lighter on edge. The nose is generous and lifted with blackcurrant, vine leaf, tobacco and spice aromas. Medium-bodied, aromas of blackcurrant melded with red berry, vine leaf, unfolding tobacco and an amalgam of spice. The mouthfeel is smooth with a fine tannin structure, and the spice leaves a warm finish. This Carmenere is complex with fresh acidity, tobacco and spice details on a soft palate. Match with flank steak and braised beef cheek over the next 5 years. 13.5% alc. 18/20 pts (90 pts) Dec 2022 RRP $17.99
