Carmen Reserva Merlot 2009
Valle del Cachapoal, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileMuch like last year, the nose is definitely leafy with a spicy cran-cherry aroma and bits of savoury, dried herbs. The attack is soft and dense with black olive, cedar, medicine chest, black cherry and tobacco flavours. Rustic but ready for grilled meats of the barbecue.
