Vina la Rosa Cachapoal Carmenere 2011 83 Points

Medium clear, ruby red with purple rim.
Reductive initially, clean, with aeration reveals dark plums, leafy herbaceous note, similar to Ruby Cabernet character, peppery, earthy, stony, well judged oak, however high alcohol is noticeable at 14% abv!
Dry, with juicy spicy texture, unmeshed, need time to settle, some graphite minerals, fairly long! Best from 2014 until 2018
