Chilcas Las Almas 2018

Carmenère is the lead grape here, supported by 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot. Smoky oak top notes segue into a palate that’s plush, supple and textured, with good underlying freshness and notes of graphite, capsicum, milk chocolate and black cherry fruit. Drink date: 2021-2026. Score – 90. (timatkin.com, Chile Special Report 2021)
