TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Deep garnet in appearance, the wine reflects the intense

colour of carmenère grapes and typical aromas of ripe fruits.

NOSE: An abundance of aromas, including redcurrant, raspberry and

wild strawberries, reflects the stunning complexity of merlot, cabernet

sauvignon and carmenère.

PALATE: The initial wave of berry fruits, underpinned by soft, silky

tannins, is pursued by contrasting touches of black olive, blackcurrant

and liquorice. Incredibly long and taut on the finish, revealing

exquisite, delicate tannins, and expressing the great elegance of the

 

Apalta terroirs.
