    Morandé 2009 Gran Reserva Carmenère (Maipo Valley)

    The opening is oaky, thus cedar and balsamic aromas run roughshod over the cherry, roast plum and vanilla scents. The palate is wiry and acidic, with flavors of herbal plum and cherry that lead to a driving, acid-rich finish, with an earthy, baked flavor and a herbal overtone.
