3 | Wine | Carmenere, Chile, 2009

"Glass-coating opaque purple; smoke, lavender, blueberry, and black berry; tasty flavors, long."

"Dark purple. Pungent dark berry and herb scents show a slight green character. Firm and on the dry side, offering concentrated blackcurrant and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of dark chocolate. I like this wine's structure and focus but would like more give. Finishes with solid grip and a late note of candied licorice. Give this some air if you're planning on drinking it any time soon."

"Tones of purple and violet, very deep and intense. Intense aroma of forest fruits with touches of vanilla and cream. Fresh and silky, rich in fruity flavours and well-combined with notes of fresh tobacco."

"Full-bodied and ambitious, with judicious, toasty oak to the jammy blackberry, cassis and dark plum notes that remain fresh while hints of mesquite, cured olive and spice line the long finish."
