San Pedro 1865 Single Vineyard Carmenère 2010, Maule Valley, Chile


 
 
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
