Casa Silva
Los Lingues Vineyard Carménère 2012
Black licorice, currant and earthy notes. 2012 vintage holding up well. — 4 months ago
Château de Pressac
St. Émilion Grand Cru Merlot Blend 2020
High concentration. Full, balanced and beautiful of fig and baking spice. Silky tannins coat your tongue. Jammy fruit. Long finish. Light on the oak which I prefer. Low acidity. Enjoying with beef tenderloin. — 2 months ago
Viña Ventisquero
Grey [Glacier] Single Block Trinidad Vineyard Carménère 2022
Nose of tart fruit and spice which shows up in the palate as well. Silky tannins that take a little time to build up. Easy to drink for a medium bodied red. It's holding up well to hearty spicy chilli, and the spice of the food is letting the fruit show more through the spice notes of the wine. Curious to see how it develops when I have some tomorrow. — 4 months ago
Chalk Hill
Estate Red Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2021
Drinking alongside the Sliver, the ‘21 Chalk Hill comes across as richer and more extracted, offering dense layers of blackcurrant, blackberry paste, dark chocolate, and roasted herbs. The palate is deep and mouth-coating, showing ample oak sweetness and firm tannins, but the concentration slightly outweighs its sense of balance. Power and ripeness dominate, giving a bold, muscular Bordeaux style expression. — 2 months ago

Really nice. Warm, dark fruits on the nose. Little bit of spice. Medium body. Bright red and dark fruits with spices. Medium tannins. Really nice. My rating: 4/5 — 4 months ago
Angelo Casagrande
Soft. My comparison with the Chilean carmenere is prob unfair given this is 30% Merlot. But it still has that distinctive carmenere taste. Nice fruit. Soft sandy tannins. The Merlot softens this. Very nice wine. — a month ago
