REVIEWS: "Nice legs-slow falling and well formed. Dark plum with ruby highlights. High viscosity. Looks like a big, thick, high alcohol drink. The nose follows those ideas with warm, rich, baked black-fruit pie notes-like a black currant tart. Jammy. The attack is full, earthy and backed with acids. Fine tannins then open along side slightly bitter chocolate and fruit. Feels lighter in the mouth than expected, and instead of a load of fruit, it gives back end. A very pleasant surprise. Tannins and acids flow through the long, mildly bitter finish, with hints of the fruit the nose suggested were here in gobs. The tannins linger on the tongue for ages. Begs for food. Roast red meat. As is."


"Take the Carmenére Challenge... Our recommended wine stands out from the pack -- Nose of ripe berry, vanilla, toasted nuts and spiced cocoa. Pretty, slightly minty palate and soft, integrated cherry with fresh acidity and rich chocolate mouthfeel on the finish."
