Tarapaca Carmenere Gran Reserva – 750ML

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red. Expressive and intense, this wine reflects the great character of Carmenere from Maipo. It has vegetal notes which give it freshness, alongside many ripe fruit aromas, such as plums, blackberries and black cherries. Soon, floral hints, like violets, begin to appear, along with spicy notes like dill, cloves, black pepper and vanilla. Great texture and silkiness. A well-balanced wine with fine, smooth and elegant tannins. It has a very long and pleasant finish.

Vinous

89 points || The 2019 Carménère Gran Reserva is mixed with 3% Syrah, both from Isla de Maipo, and spent 12 months in French and American barrels, 20% of them new. Inky violet in the glass. The nose presents black currant, blackberry and herbal notes alongside hints of white pepper. Opulent and warm with mild tannins, this is the quintessential Chilean Carménère style. Drinking window: 2021 - 2026

James Suckling

94 Points || Black fruit, tomato leaf, graphite and spice. Medium-to full-bodied with chewy tannins. Fruity and energetic with the right amount of structure. Flavorful finish with length. This is an excellent, dry carmenere. Drink or hold.
