A markedly pungent carmenère here from Clos de Luz and also one of smoky, peppery and jolting piques. Very roasted...
Rich flavours of blackcurrants, blackberries, and vanilla are offset by savoury, smoky notes of blistered jalapeños...

A blend of 95% Carmenère and 5% Syrah, the fresh, medium-high intensity nose offers herbaceous, leafy green notes sitting atop currant, cassis, and savoury earth aromas with hints of minerality. On the medium-full bodied palate it has lovely, fresh acidity that lifts the clean red and black fruits, cassis, and currant flavours which interplay nicely with the herbaceous, savoury, and spice tones. Really nicely balanced with supple, lightly textured tannins. Juicy, earthy, and minerally on the long, balanced and fresh finish. Tasted Mar/2022. Score: 90+ pts
