Tasting notes:
Colour: Medium ruby red with a dark violet hue at the rim.
Aromas: Spot-on varietal expression, showing red bell pepper against a floral background of hyacinth and lilac followed by dried apricot, tobacco, leather, black fruits, and blueberries, with spicy accents of nutmeg, clove, and toast.
Palate: Medium breadth on the entry, revealing firm but smooth tannins on the middle palate. Good tannin/alcohol balance, with a medium to long finish. This Carménère shows good depth and varietal character. The fruity, herbaceous, and spicy flavors are ample, complex, and balanced, supported by fine oak notes from barrel aging.
