Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of purplish red,
little transparency. The nose denotes great personality with elegant,
intense and clean aromas such as black cherry, cocoa, blueberry, black
pepper, bell pepper, plum, black currant and vanilla. In mouth reveals an
alcoholic attack however balanced by tannins which already are smooth and
round. Excellent correspondence to the nose with intense flavors. The
finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and black currant.
A great wine that will give its best with a further aging in bottle. Carmenero
is ages in barrique for 16 months.
