Carmín de Peumo is Chile’s first iconic Carmenere and this wine truly shows how good carmenere can be, as well as display such a beautiful expression of terrior. This is pitch black in color with enticing notes of fresh black and blue fruits like blackberry, blueberry and mulberry along with bell pepper, tar, loam, espresso and a cream de cassis. It is so powerful, dense and focused with layer upon layer of complexities with everything is perfectly balanced and in the right place. Fantastic from start to finish.
