Veranda Cabernet-Carmenere 2004

60% Cab, 40% Carmenere, 13.5%
San Alfonso Single Estate Maipo Valley, Requinda, Chile
Vinedos Corpora Import by: Domaines Boisset SF, CA

Thick smoke, rubber, and alcohol and a hint of sea air or oysters. Heavy, strong dry fruit cedar and smoke flavors. Some tannins but also sparkle on the tongue. Has that Carmenere tobacco element. good last wine before the port type of drink. Good drinkable stuff but lacks the dynamics of good Cab.
