Miguel Torres Cordillera de Los Andes Reserva Especial Carménère (2020)

Great color intensity. On the nose, it expresses the character of the Carménère variety (berries, eucalyptus and leather) with wonderful strength, showing toasted notes (laurel and clove), licorice, and black pepper. Broad on the palate, with round tannins. Retronasal aromas of toasted bread and spices, finishing with a long aftertaste. This tremendous wine is the ideal companion for roast lamb or pork as well as grilled meats, dressed with aromatic herbs and licorice.

Tasting Notes

91 James Suckling
Allspice and cherries to the nose with some olives. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with moderate, natural acidity and smooth tannins. Nothing challenging here. Quite an honest, stripped-down style. 

90 Wine Spectator
A lovely expression, with chrysanthemum and cocoa nibs paving the way for rich cherry and red currant flavors that are enlivened by mineral acidity, lingering nicely around fine tannins and details of roasted red pepper.
