Viña Tarapacá 2008 Gran Reserva Carmenère (Maipo Valley)
-
$19
Aggressive early on, with foxy, briary aromas of turned earth, olive, rhubarb and green tobacco. The palate is fleshy, soft and welcoming, but the flavors are a sketchy amalgam of bramble, leather and herbal raspberry. Mouthfeel is the best part.
