Appearance:
Dark ruby red with dark violet reflects.
Aromas:
The aromatic complexity shows the variety at its best, notes of cherry, honey and vanilla as well as smoky undertones, tobacco and dry oak accents.
Palate:
Wide attack, soft and full medium palate. It has good and discreet acid support, and many soft tannins. The balance of the wine is premium, and makes it strong and elegant at the same time. Finish is extra long and smooth.
This Carménère is a good example of a combination of strength and finesse at the same time: the complex fruity nose express very well this variety when it is picked up at correct maturity, these aromas are underlined by the barrel ageing flavours. The intensity and smoothness of the tannins shows the low yield of the plants. All this result in an impressive Carménère.
Serving suggestions:
The rich intensity of this reserve-style wine will enhance a variety of red meats, like filet mignon, veal Blanquette; stews; vegetable tarts; or soft cheeses. Serve at 68ºF (20ºC), within six years of bottling
