Uncommon ripeness and purity, with blackberry and cassis fruit offset by intriguing cedar, mineral and truffle notes. Plenty of toast, but the fruit wins out easily. An impressive Carmenère (particularly from Maule in '02), albeit in Cabernet clothing. Drink now through 2006. 700 cases imported.??–JM??Region: Chile / Central Valley-Chile / Maule / Maule Valley Select to Add
