This wine opened up with aromas of
black cherry, cassis, stewed plum, smoky and peppery notes. On the mouthfeel,
full bodied (with alcohol coming in at 14.5%), with a nice robust, creamy
texture, fresh acidity and well integrated tannins. Good weight and length on
the finish with flavours of dark fruit, dark chocolate and savoury notes lingering.
This is a very flavourful and concentrated Carmenère made in a crowd-pleasing
style. Could be enjoyed now with any BBQ meat or cellar
for
2-4 years for better integration. Strongly recommended, score 90 points.
Purchased July 6, 2013 LCBO Vintages New Release (249201) at $19.95
