Carmen Carmenère Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2002

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileDense black cherry colour. Huge minty, dill, cassis juice, leafy, black olive, peppery smoky nose. Big smoky on the palate with sappy, mocha, vanilla, minty, cassis, tobacco leaf flavours and a strong coffee, minty, cassis finish. Not elegant but lots of intensity and warm ― a unique style of wine. A bit over the top but certainly lots of stuffing.Tasted: 01 February 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
