Casillero del Diablo Carmenere – 750ML

This variety disappeared from its place of origin in Médoc, north of Bordeaux, France following the phylloxera outbreak in the 19th century. It reappeared in Chile at the end of the 20th Century. In Casillero del Diablo Carmenere is smooth and delicate with intense color, smooth, round tannins, and attractive aromas of black currant and chocolate. Ideal with aged cheese.

Tasting Notes

Dark and deep purple. Delicious notes of ripe fruit, with black plums and currants standing out. These are perfectly complemented by hints of chocolate, coffee and toast. Notes of black plums and spices are accompanied by pleasant toasted touches from the barrel. It has round tannins and a good structure in the mouth.

Serving Suggestion

It expresses marvelously well with game meat, garnished with sweet-and-sour sauces and berries.
