Falernia Carmenère Syrah Reserva 2011
Valle del Elqui, ChileBig spicy, black cherry, plum jam, savoury, black pepper, mint, dried eucalyptus aromas with light smoked meat notes. Fresh, round, juicy and dry palate with light tannins. Blackberry, savoury, liquorice meaty, chocolate, vanilla and five spice flavours with a bit of marmalade and cedar on the finish. Despite a warm finish, this has plenty of fruit and intensity without being too big offering the best of both varieties. Excellent value here.Tasted: 16 April 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $18.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
