De Martino 2006 Legado Reserva Carmenère (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile / Maipo Valley
Variety: Carmenère
Winery: De Martino / Legado Reserva

A little sweet, dense and pasty on the nose, and that’s also how the wine plays out. It’s a ripe style of Carmenère, with brooding but not overly expressive black-fruit flavors. Ripeness is clearly not an issue as it shows no vegetal or herbal notes. Simply big, bold and not terribly unique.
