Koyle 2012 Royale Los Lingues Vineyard Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Royale Los Lingues Vineyard
Variety: Carmenère Colchagua Valley
Winery: Koyle /

Ripe and lusty, this is earthy and foresty on the nose, with plenty of oak, olive, eucalyptus and graphite. The palate is saturated almost to the point of being too heavy, but that only means that lush, penetrating, herbal blackberry and cola flavors have a stout base to work with. A toasted finish with some bitterness closes this out. Drink through 2019.
