WTN: Montgras Reserva Carmenere 2008

Colchagua Valley

Very dark red in the glass.

Earthy, berries on the nose.

Black cherry, raspberry, rich, spicy, thick and mouthcoating, quite dense, red licorice, smoky, good acidity, a bit of a bitter edge, fleshy, jammy, black licorice, somewhat cooked-stewed, with some of the 14.5 per cent alcohol showing through.

Rich berry fruit, roasted and drying on the finish.

Purchased at $12.95 (Canadian) and a steal at that price.

While some of your descriptors were quite nice I am having a hard time aligning the two snips above with the third one.
