An amazing wine; a classic for those looking for Chile's flagship wines. Deep, long and complex with layers of mouth-watering juiciness. Here's your dessert wine. Food matches: grilled steaks, osso buco.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Not only a classic Carmenère, but a classic New World wine. The colour, in a tip of the hat to the name, is deep purple-ruby. Aromas of blueberry pie, cedar boughs, smoked meat, cherry and tilled earth dominate. Dry, very flavourful, but impeccably balanced by moderate to firm tannins and lively acidity. Excellent blueberry and cedar replays. Full bodied with a very long, luxurious finish. There’s a touch of Petit Verdot mixed in with this impressive Carmenère. Enjoyable over the next 6-8+ years.
