Odfjell 2014 Orzada Made With Organic Grapes Carignan (Maule Valley)

Country: Chile / Orzada Made With Organic Grapes
Variety: Carignan Maule Valley
Winery: Odfjell /

This dark-tinted Carignan smells of licorice, lemony oak and loamy, candied cassis. In the mouth, this is rough and raw on the surface but jammy in the midpalate. A mix of ripe raisin, cassis and licorice flavors are herbal and peppery, while the tannins on the finish don’t cease. At 15.5% abv, this is over the top and heady.
