點擊次數(shù)：4385

Very distinctive aroma of eucalyptus and mint. Layered wine with spice, currantly fruit and a minty finish. Agreeable, generous and loose knit. Alc: 14.5%.

Dark cherry, berry and a certain level of sweetness give this wine a ripe opening. The palate is fruity and a touch buttery due to full oak, while the flavors are also oaky but fold in spice, carob and berry flavors. Dry and peppery on the finish.——M.S.(6/1/2011)—— 88

Not as dark and sticky as many wines of this variety; the nose is defined by cherry and raspberry along with barnyard and animal hide. At first the palate seems sharp and acidic, but with time it settles on fuller, more creamy cherry and raspberry along with mocha. Narrow on the finish but fresh and forward.——M.S.(12/1/2010)—— 85

Opens with herbal black fruit aromas, coffee and a helping of grass cuttings, while the palate is snappy in feel and shows flavors of blackberry, herbs and creamy vanilla. Steady on the finish, with mocha as the lasting flavor. Good but ordinary Carmenere.——M.S.(12/31/2009)—— 86

Offers a forward mix of herb, pepper and red cherry notes with a toasty but loosely knit finish. Drink now. 6,000 cases made.??–JM??Region: Chile / Central Valley-Chile / Maipo / Maipo Valley Select to Add
