Concha y Toro, "Terrunyo" Carmenere, Block 27 Peumo Vyd 2005

Deep purple.

Bright, refined aromas of fresh herbs, cream, blackberry, oak spice/smoke, earth and even a hint of pepper. Loaded.

Suave and packed in the mouth, beautiful winemaking. Plush and taut simultaneously, with great spice, fresh blackberry and herb flavors riding through mid-palate. Acidity ultimately cuts the finish short, but there's plenty of material here to warrant several years in the bottle.

Ridiculous value.

Day 3 - Very deep, slightly flat on the nose. Similar in the mouth, with a flavor of clay permeating the finish, as does chewy acid/tannin synergy. Needs time, but it's all in the bottle.
