Tributo Gran Reserva Carmenère 2020 6x75cl

• 75cl bottle

Of carmine-red colour, this wine feels intense right from the beginning. Spicy aromas of roasted paprika, black pepper and strawberries syrup stand out on the nose. Smooth floral aromas like violets, accompanied by subtle touches of bittersweet chocolate, dried tobacco leaves and dry earth. This extremely fresh wine offers very soft and silky tannins on the palate. Its nice acidity and great volume allow predicting a good ageing potential

Vintage

Undoubtedly a very challenging 2020 season, presenting the driest winter of the last 50 years. Warm temperatures, especially in springtime, ended the season with a slightly colder March and April. Moderate crop yield and abundant irrigation in summer helped maintain the freshness and quality.
