Excellent example of Carmenere with big fruit, vanilla and tannins in balance due to proper aging in bottle. I remember tasting it about 5 years ago and it was almost perple in color and still too much oaky. Now it is perfectly balanced and it is a joy to drink it. Pitty we did not open it in our Carmenere tasting 5 days ago, if so I guess this would be the winner.
