The deep crimson-colored 2007 Carmenere Reserva exhibits aromas of cedar, spice box, violets, and blueberry (with no green whatsoever). Sweetly fruited and with light tannin to support 1-2 years of further evolution, this tasty effort will drink well through 2017. Importer: No American importer

Dense and ripe, with aromas of licorice, tar and cola. The mouthfeel is starchy, with grippy tannins propping up black cherry, plum, coffee and brown sugar flavors. Fairly tight and firm on the finish, with a burnt closing note. ——M.S.(6/1/2004)—— 86

Like any textbook Carmenere, you’ll encounter plenty of deep black berry fruit and a hint of green pepper in the nose. The mouth is supersoft yet full, with pepper and chocolate flavors mingling with mint and ripe plums. It’s definitely an easy-drinking red wine made to consume now. Best Buy. ——M.S.(3/1/2002)—— 87
