Bodega Volcanes De Chile Parinacota Syrah-Carignan 2018 (2 x 750ml)

Tasting Notes Parinacota is a revealing wine, with personality, sophisticate and elegant. It is intense violet-red in colour, very deep and bright. Expressive aromas of wild red and dark fruits, such as blueberries, raspberries and plum, rhubarb, violets, hints of licorice, black tea, nutmeg, cedar and black olives. Note of smoke and minerality. This is a wine with character, weight, body and structure, with significant tannins, reminiscent of mountain tannins. The tannins are fresh, energetic, reactive and elegant, the result of good barrel ageing. This is a rounded wine, with nice acidity, pleasant with a long finish. This wine pair perfect with lamb, steak, stews, game, duck, charcuterie and strong cheeses. Review: 89 points, Wine Enthusiast Lactic oak sits atop a spicy, minty nose based on herbal berry fruits. A firm, tightly wound and extracted palate deals plum, wild berry, mint and green herb flavors that finish woody, spicy and hot. This is 70% Syrah and 30% Carignan, although it is not easy to identify this as such.
