We haven't had a great experience with carmenere in the past, but thought we'd try this one. There is a strange unidentifiable barnyardy nose that slowly dissipates. On the palate there are blueberries and not much else. Actually this is a bit of a boring wine, but still drinkable. While it's the best carmenere we've had, I think we've tried enough of them to understand we can't appreciate them. Update: After an hour I must say it really opened up and is quite lovely. Nice tartness to counter the sweetness, with juicy dark fruits. Still not super complex, but decent, drinkable wine to go with pizza.
