This is what Carmenere should taste like. It’s loaded with savoury and spicy notes but not at the expense of the fruit. The fruit here is perfectly ripe, and there’s a terrific structure too.
“A medium-bodied red with currants, spices and some dried flowers. Creamy and chewy. Pretty fruit.”
-James Suckling
The 2019 vintage of the Max Carmenere displays a dull and deep violet colour. On the nose, notes of black and red fruits, herbs and spiced character as roasted red bell pepper, rosemary and dill, all framed by soft notes of chocolate and roasted coffee beans. On the palate, appears notes of nuts, dark cherries and coffee. It shows good structure with elegant, fine grained tannins that give a silky texture on the palate.
