Country: Chile

Colour: Red

Year: 2011

Grape: Camernere

Supplier: The Wine Warehouse                                                          

Price (VND): 300000

Points: 92/100

Pairs well with: Red meats, lamb, currys, tomato based pasta

Notes:

If you like classic quality clarets you will be amazed by this wine, because for the price, is incredible.

Dark deep red in color with a touch of violet, the nose is incredible bringing lots of dark red fruits, pepper and oak, with a light touch of vanilla.

The palate is very well balanced offering a good length and lots of complexity. A explosion of dark berries and oak fills your mouth and evolves in there providing a silky mix of well balanced flavors.

I have drunk four bottles of this wine/vintage so far, and I must say that one of them contained a rather different wine (I guess it goit spoiled somewhere), with no so much nose or palate or complexity which would get a 69/100 mark. So if you are after this wine, get two bottles just in case, but hopefully I got the only “not so good” one.
