Tres Palacios Carmenere 2007

86POINTS

15^½/20

Cholqui Valley, Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileSuper dark colour. Only 15 per cent of this wine sees time in neutral wood to preserve its varietal character. Classic carmenère with intense crushed leaf nose with pencil lead and bits of minerality. The palate is dry with tarry flecks of plums and chocolate. Intense resiny carmenère finish. Try this with fire grilled meats or strong cheeses. Needs a bit more finesse to support its wild characters. Tasted: 23 December 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
