Carmen Merlot Reserva 2001

Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileVery minty eucalyptus, cassis, sappy, spicy, smoky aromas - seems more like carmenère than merlot. Soft, round, and dry with very spicy, smoky, vanilla, cassis flavours and a resiny, sour cherry finish. A bit alcoholic but solid. Merlot or carmenère?Tasted: 01 March 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
