此款酒呈深色，濃郁的濃咖啡、煙草、苦中帶甜的可可粉風味與酸梅醬、黑醋栗的味道交相融合。余味中帶有鼠尾草和濃咖啡的味道。這款酒適合那些熱衷于豐郁風格的葡萄酒愛好者。適飲期：現在至 2012 年。

釀制 2009 年的 Alpha Carmenere 酒的葡萄有 Cabernet Sauvignon，該葡萄占 10%。此款 Carmenere 葡萄產自涼爽的太平洋附近的產區(qū)，因此該葡萄生長時間長，分別在新、舊法國橡木桶中熟成了 12 個月，裝瓶前沒有過濾。散發(fā)著濃郁的木材煙霧、藥草、香料、熏香、紫羅蘭以及各種各樣黑色水果的味道。該酒豐郁，美味，復雜。裝瓶后再窖藏 2 至 3 年后風味更佳。適飲期：2013 至 2021 年。

此款酒帶有烤山胡桃、篝火的味道，濃郁的漿果味和簡單的礦物質味非常明顯。口感豐郁，香醇，耐咀嚼，帶有烤面包、樹木、香料、黑色水果和巧克力的風味。幾乎呈深黑色，無可否認，釀制該酒的葡萄都是上等的葡萄。評分：89。

The 2008 Alpha Carmenere is a glass-coating opaque purple with a nose of damp earth, mineral, sage, thyme, tobacco, and blueberry. Dense and full-bodied on the palate, it reveals layers of ripe fruit, lots of spice, and enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years. It will deliver prime drinking from 2012 to 2020.

Starts with typical aromas of olive, herbs, spice and pepper, and there’s berry fruit underneath. The palate is racier and more staunch than the 2007, with cherry, olive, plum and a hint of raisin. Tightly formed, with a lively DNA and a tangy finish touched up by cocoa.——M.S.(9/1/2010)—— 88
