Carmen 2007 Syrah (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile /
Variety: Syrah Maipo Valley
Winery: Carmen /

Slightly hard, burnt and earthy at first, with dark fruit sitting below that cap. The palate is tannic, thus the mouthfeel clamps down and closes up like a clam. More generous and savory in terms of flavors, with roasted black fruit and aged cheese notes. Narrow and grapey on the finish, but legit.
