This bottle was opened for a blind tasting last night and the nose just blew me away- intense. It is opaque ruby, bordering on purple with high viscosity (14% ABV). The nose, as mentioned, has pronounced aromas of eucalyptus, menthol, espresso bean, ripe black plum, blackberry, blackcurrant and dark chocolate nibs. The palate is dry with medium acidity and medium tannins that are silky smooth and well integrated. Full bodied with rich flavors of ripe black fruits, eucalyptus, menthol and oaky coffee and chocolate. It has a beautiful mouthfeel and lingers for a long time on the finish. This is a stunning (for me) Carmenere that gets 92 points and for $18- 5 stars. I like it a lot. Drink till 2027 with rich meats and sauces. Lovely stuff. Salut….
