87POINTS

15^¾/20

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileCool, coastal Maipo Valley is the home of this Gran Reserva Carmenère growing over granitic clays and loam. 85 percent carmenère combines with 10 percent cabernet franc and 5 percent petit verdot, presumably to bolster the mid-palate. 80 percent is aged one year in a mix of American and French oak. The nose is old style with a robust and dried crush leaf scent mixed with smoke and pepper. The palate is similarly busy, adding rubber and licorice to the mix. Big, rustic, and ready to drink, this would be best with grilled beef on a cold night.Tasted: 05 May 2022Tasted by: Prices:
