Last bottle of the case...sadness! Agree, best with Lou Malnati’s pizza as we had the very first bottle. Will see how it goes with paleo antelope Shepard’s pie. Also great for sipping.

The wine yesterday had me missing Chile...Earthy notes of tobacco, cloves, and blackberry on the nose. Tastes of black cherry, cinnamon, and a hint of sweet peppers. Still a good balance of tannins and acidity. The toasty French oak settles on the palate in the finish. Carménère is a special grape...

Green fruit, no spice, burns of alcohol. Lame

Rich with a lovely balance of fruit and tannin. Accompanied by veal with red wine and mushroom sauce, beans with mustard and cream and fried potatoes. £10 from Quaff: excellent value.

Aired it for at least 30 mins and it's so fruity and lovely! Beautiful color. Very nice deep flavors and easy finish.

Wonderful, rich carmenere. A touch of spice and black fruits in the nose, with a long, chocolate finish
