2022 De Martino Carmenere Legado Reserva

VIN92 The 2022 Carménère Reserva Legado from Isla de Maipo was aged in oak casks (30%) and very old barrels (70%) for 7 months. Purple in hue. The nose delivers subtle notes of ash, with ripe black and blueberry aromas, spice, and hints of haystack. Indulgent and expansive with finely grained tannins, it fills the mouth with bold flavor enhanced by a layer of herbs. More Bordelaise than ever.
Estate Notes: This particular vineyard is in the Isla De Maipo, the heart of the Valle Del Maipo DO. Alluvial soils with an abundance of gravel and just a touch of clay. Native yeast fermented and aged for 15 months in older French oak. Blueberries and plums, spice, pepper. Now picked a bit earlier with a degree less alcohol, this is cedary, fresh and savoury carmenère from Chile. This is produced from a vineyard in a cool spot for this variety, the Isla de Maipo, a bend in the river with well-drained gravel soils. It should mature very well, developing plummy and lead-pencil aromas with age.
