A nice surprise - full of black berries and pepper, as expected, but also with vanilla and chocolate, due to its ten-month-aging in French oak barrels. Very elegant tannins, very elegant wine. Uma bela surpresa, com muitas frutas negras e pimenta, como esperado. Mas também com uma explosão de baunilha e chocolate, por conta dos 10 meses em barricas francesas. Taninos elegantes e macios. Um vinho muito gostoso.

Dark plums, roasted coffee beans, smoke, warm barrel spice, and blackberry fruit merge together in this reasonably priced (under $20) bottle of 2009 Medalla Real Carménère from @SantaRitaEst. A bit meaty and fleshy, this wine is best enjoyed with smoked, cured, or grilled meats.

Oak and ginger. Spicy and complex. Served it with spicy tuna and it made the dinner divine

Smoke, wood, green pepper, and blackberries. Solid, as far as I'm concerned
