Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, spicy, very savoury, herbal, baked plum-apple nose with some pine Christmas tree notes.

This wine received 93 points in the 2017 Descorchados Wine Guide. TASTING NOTE: The dark, opaque and concentrated 2014 Carmenere Reserva de Familia manages what is difficult to achieve with the grape: freshness. It does have the cigar ash, roasted pepper and chocolate aromas of the grape, but the palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, good balance and that freshness. Drink date: 2017-2020.
