Errazuriz Carmenere Max Reserva 2017

The 2017 vintage of the MAX Carmenere displays a beautiful cherry red color. On the nose, a subtle note of ripened black fruits compliments aromas of pepper and roasted red pepper, soft and elegant notes of black tea leaves, rosemary and moistened earth.

The palate is dominated by its spicy character, all framed by chocolate and roasted coffee bean notes coming from the oak barrels. Very soft, it shows good structure with elegant, fine tannins, accompanied by a refreshing acidity and persistence.

Spicy, minty black-fruit aromas are herbal, something Carmenère fans have smelled a thousand times. On the palate, this is solid but ultimately not that compelling or structured. Herbal plum and red-currant flavors finish with notes of tomato, basil and thyme.
