I know it's cheap, but with the DM endorsement as an"award winner", I expected better. Cask wine quality in my estimation.

A wine with a little alcohol, woody, having the wine before and after food. After food is better.

This wine is really nice. I feel relaxed after drinking it. Very pleasant, yet, it’s not a Reserva. It doesn’t reach that status. Worth having on your shelf.

2017 and 2018 are thin and watery; without any body, and pale in colour. Very mild flavour; not the famous Carmenere fruit and mouth feel. The description is meaningless. One bottle of 2015 I found right at the back was sensational for the price; much darker and totally different flavour. Forget this wine until the 2019 appears. It might be much better. I have been to Chile and I know Carmenere.

Excellent, easy to drink red. The first time I have tried this grape and I was not let down. I shared it with two other mates and all of us were impressed.

Can't fault this Carmenere...there are not many on offer here in Australia so a good one under $10 is sensational. There's more in it than the $7 Luis Felipe Edwards on offer at Aldi. Not only that, it's lower in alcohol at 12.5% ABV.
