#Remembrance #Love 6/25
One of our special stops in Maipo, Chile.
The day we visited, they had just received & were using their basic bottle labeling machine. They were elated to no longer have to do it by hand. 2018.
49% Carmenere, 42.5% Cabernet & 8.5% Syrah.
Picture of Sofia in Nefertiti’s Tomb. The top of Sofia’s bucket list.
The fruits are ripe and dryish; blackberries, black raspberries, black plum with big skin, plum pudding, darkest cherries & strawberries hues, creamy raspberries. Dark chocolate w/ fudge frosting, caramel, mocha, deep, dark spices w/ some palate heat, moist, forest floor with dry leaves, clove, nutmeg, soft cinnamon stick, vanillin, black tea, black licorice, dry river stone, moist, grey, volcanic clay, limestone & dry crushed rock minerals, dry top soil, some black pepper, dry tobacco & chewy leather, oak wood shavings, dry, withering & candied flowers, excellent, round acidity with a ruby, fresh, round, well; tensioned, balanced, knitted, smartly polished finish that lasts minutes.
Still has 10-15 years of good life ahead.
It was Bordeaux that first embraced Carmenere and the only Chateau that I know that still blends it is Clerc Milon…only about 2-3%. Chile champions Carmenere now.

Baron Phillipe de Rothschild
Chateau Clerc-Milon Red Bordeaux Blend 1982
Beautiful garnet color. Smokey, musty, and earthy on the nose. Cedar, black raspberries, leather, and tobacco. Well integrated and not overpowering. Very satisfying finish. A real treat to drink a 40-year old wine that is so pleasing to smell, look at, and taste. — 2 years ago

Pian del Pazzo Toscana SuperTuscan Blend
Reminiscent of a nice Bordeaux like Clerc Milon. Beautiful cedar notes on the nose and in the glass. Fully integrated tannins with nice complexity. Worth a try from all of you francophones!!! — 3 years ago

Domaine Martin Clerc
Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah
More fruit forward than I expected from a Syrah. Still got the smoked meat aroma. Blackberries maybe?

On the nose and palate are notes of blackcurrant, crème de cassis, plum, purple fig, dark chocolate covered cherry, black licorice, anise, fennel, clove, nutmeg, cedar wood, cardamom, pencil shavings, graphite, leather, pipe tobacco, cigar, forest floor.
It’s dry with velvety tannins, medium (+) acidity, a medium body, and medium alcohol (13.5% ABV) and a persistent finish. It’s balanced and complex with depth and dimension. It’s providing warmth and deliciousness on this chilly winter night. Cheers! — 11 days ago
