With a deep and inviting ruby-red color, the wine immediately draws attention. The aromatic profile is rich and expressive, featuring an abundance of dark fruits such as blackberries and plums. Subtle hints of spices, like black pepper and a touch of cloves, enhance the nose, creating a captivating bouquet.
On the palate, Cromas Carmenere Gran Reserva reveals a full-bodied and well-structured character. Ripe black fruit flavors dominate, complemented by layers of dark chocolate and a touch of smokiness.

Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review - Rated 91:
A medium-to full-bodied carmenere with lots of dark, grilled cumin, black beans, olives and smoked meat. Dry and tannic with a juicy core of fruit, without being sweet.
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 90:
There's a lot to admire in this well-structured version, offering floral blueberry and blackberry preserves up front, with details of roasted red pepper, hot stone and fresh green herbs folding in around fine tannins.
