Cornellana Cuvée Grand Reserve, Peumo, 2020

50% Carménère with other grapes in minor supporting roles. An opaque, deep ruby robe here. The nose opens with a broad range of medium-intensity elements of tar, smoke, charred zucchini and poblano peppers, lard, dried black olive, chokeberry and dried blueberry pie. The dry palate follows with a low acidity (yet somehow it works), a medium extract, medium super fine textured tannins and a medium body. The medium-plus length and persistence complete the set, although it will take some time to unfold with flavours of lard, charred vegetables, chokeberry, tomato leaf, dried blueberry and bitter chocolate/toffee and closing with a medium finish. 2025-2027–IR
