Laurent 2022 Carménère Inocente

100% Carménère. Red currants, cherries, blueberries, tobacco, roasted peppers. Medium-bodied, ripe tannins, and an edgy mouth-feel with snappy acidity. Long finish. One of the issues with this grape in Chilean wines is that it can be over the top in “personality”  - almost a caricature of a wine. The Laurent family seems to have captured the right balance of varietal correctness and restraint, an incredible example of an underused grape. Organic.
