A pleasant vintage. Strong black raspberry flavor. Subtle hint of plum and black cherry. Smoky finish.

First bottle was off, cork rot. Second bottle was fine but didnt stand out in any special way. Ive have better carmeneres for lower price points.

Rough start. Started out as a stodgy, close mouthed dinner companion, but ended up as an adequate, if not entirely entertaining, conversationalist.

Wonderful wine, very intense with mint and pepper with hint of earth, reminiscent of Chile soil.
Look for family reserve..
