Carmenère
Tasting Notes
The intense nose offers pleasing notes of ripe black and red fruits such as blackberries, figs, and dried plums. Spicy notes of nutmeg and black pepper lie over a back of tobacco and leather with a subtle balsamic aroma that envelops aromas of pastry and dark chocolate.
The palate is well balanced, lush, and structured, while soft tannins lend the wine a sweet sensation that opens way to a long and very elegant finish.
Aging
55% of the wine was aged for 12 months in first, second, and third-use French oak barrels.
Cell Recommendation
May be enjoyed now or cellared for 10 or more years.
Food Pairing
Red and white meats, pasts and cheese.
