Maquis 2014 Gran Reserva Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Colchagua Valley
Variety: Carmenère
Winery: Maquis / Gran Reserva

Oaky foresty berry aromas are mildly damp and woodsy, with coffee and herbal notes. This feels full but also clamping and tight. Smoky roasted flavors of hickory, black plum and pepper finish burnt and toasty, with roughness to the finish.
