Even by the standards of Carmenere, which lacks the commercial sexiness of more popular varietals, this is an excellent value. As for the wine itself, which is probably still a bit too young at this point given that it teases without ever really opening up, it's deep and rich if lacking the truly distinctive savoury-green qualities that the better examples reveal. There's a lot of dark fruit, along with spicy, woodsy, herbal, and murky green notes, plus a touch of rubber, but it seems more like a monolith of flavour than a harmony of complexity.
