Very nice example of development of wine when aged. Primary fruit aromas are completely changed to tertiary tones given its aging in the bottle.
8th November 2009 Update: I openned another bottle of this wine and i checked my notes to compare, the description really fits. This is lovely fruity wine nicely round with aging and spicy tones.
I'm surprised you have the taste for Carmenere already. Has it cooled down so much? I start to think of white wines now....
