Admiral Thomas Carmenère 2021

Admiral Thomas Carmenère is praised for its rich, full-bodied nature and flavors of blackcurrant, spice, and dark fruit. While some enjoy its smooth, lingering finish and elegant oak presence, others find it pleasant but unremarkable. The wine pairs well with dishes like baked camembert and roast duck, offering a rewarding drinking experience with a moderate level of tannins.

This Carmenère unfurls with a deep garnet hue, revealing a bouquet of blackcurrant and ripe plum, interwoven with hints of green pepper and subtle spice. On the palate, it offers a velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity that underscores its vibrant fruit core. The mid-palate complexity is enhanced by notes of dark chocolate and a whisper of graphite, leading to a lingering finish with a touch of herbal finesse. A quintessential expression of Carmenère, this wine showcases the varietal's hallmark characteristics with elegance and depth, making it a compelling choice for connoisseurs.
