Falernia Carmenère Reserva 2011
Valle del Limari, ChileAromatic ripe scented red with cassis, tobacco, pepper and plum jam notes. The attack is fresh and lively with sweet candied plums and green, leafy, peppery liquorice notes with a long sweet finish. An easy-sipping style of red wine with a fair bit of alcohol and sweetness (passito-style) but oddly with a herbaceous undercurrent. Not for everyone but then carmenère rarely is.Tasted: 06 April 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $18.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
