Country of origin: Chile
Wine appellation: Colchagua Valley
Vintage: 2008
Alcohol content: 14.5%
Color: darker red
Bouquet: expressive, explosion of overripe black sour cherries, black currant with black pepper and gentle touch of tobacco and toast
Taste: medium to full body, black current with really ripe black sour cherries, smooth, huge fruit, but perfectly balanced with tannins, longer finish
Recommended food pairing: steak
Overall score: 4+8+13+7+7+50=89
Price: CZK 199
Stopper: single piece cork
Excellent Carmenere. Even though recently I am not huge fan of new world wines this is the reason why Chilien wines are so successful. Absolutely perfectly done Carmenere, one of the best I recently had. Excellent combination of huge fruit with oak and toast. The only thing why it did not make 90+ is the alcohol, it could be slightly lower so it needs to be chilled to 17°C to find the perfect balance. Considering the perfect cork closure I will be getting a case to my cellar. It will definitely improve over 3 years.
