Mayu Appassimento Gran Reserva Carmenère 2020

Bark, dried spice and tobacco leaf with porcini mushrooms and dried red fruit. Flavorful and intense on the palate with full body and an intense finish. A good appassimento, if you like the style, which is not about primary fruit freshness. 60% from grapes dried on the vines, blended with 40% wine from normally harvested grapes. Drink now [through 2026]. (Zekun Shuai,jamessuckling.com,March 13, 2024)
