The nose opens on ripe black berry fruit aromas, joined on airing by notes of roasted coffee beans and black pepper. From a highly expressive attack on the black fruit found on the nose, the peppery notes that emerged with airing return on a midpalate which combines power with heft. The finish lingers on an intense array of black fruit, spice and roasted coffee bean flavors.

The 2019 Carménère Escudo Rojo from Colchagua is harvested in May and aged for 10 months in 20% new oak. The ripe, compact nose features aromas of green and white pepper over a layer of blackberry jam. Indulgent, voluminous and mild in the mouth.

Aromas of green herbs, black fruits and graphite are oaky and pyrazinic. On the palate, this hot-year Carmenère is tightened by tartaric acidity. Salty plum and berry flavors are oaky, spicy and a bit green, while this doesn't change much on a lasting finish.
