Deep typical Carmenère color, slight minty and eucalyptus notes on nose followed by sweet jammy blackberry and cassis fruit with good tannic and acid backing structure. Finishes slightly cocoa powder.

Slightly vegetal nose with hints of chocolate, kind of nondescript on the palate. This wine does not talk to me.
