Arboleda Carmenere Aconcagua 2015 

Dark and can’t see through purple color. Nose of dark berries, warm spices, green Bell pepper, bitter chocolate and a hint of smoke and sandy soil. Very silky texture on the palate, it’s balanced, not heavyness here and there’s a light bitterness on the finish. Flavors of black berries, chocolate, light but enjoyable and well blended green notes. Long finish, thid wine would pair well with meat dishes. Good+ (88)
