The 2008 Carmenere Alto del Maipo Valley 100% was fermented and aged in cement tank. Deep purple in colour with legs that coat the glass, it offers up a superb aromatic array of herbs, exotic spices, truffle, a hint of balsamic, blueberry, and blackberry. Plush, sweetly fruited, complex, and pleasure bent, this intense, powerful offering will benefit from 4 5 years of additional bottle age to fill out. It offers a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2023 and possibly longer. Carmenere does not get much better than this. 93 pts Robert Parker Wine Advocate 199 Feb 2012
