delicious wine was purchased back in the Spring of 2014 from the LCBO VINTAGES Release.
Obviously, the 2008 is no longer available at the LCBO, but this wine is always solid year after year, and the latest vintage should show up in VINTAGES at some point this year. Keep an eye out on this blog as I'm sure it will be a recommended buy.

Tasting Note:
CONCHA Y TORO MARQUES DE CASA CONCHA CARMENÈRE 2008 - Peumo Vineyard, Rapel Valley, Chile (#169862) (XD) - $19.95Black plum with hints of red flowers and earth from the cork. Complex nose is showing fine maturity with lovely Dried Flowers and wet earth aromas which give way to lush blackberry, wild herbs, cassis, black licorice, and vanilla with very good intensity. The palate is full-bodied with dark currant, blackberry, cassis, mint, and herbs surrounded by mouth watering acidity. It's slightly chalky on the palate with refined, dusty tannins that are smooth and integrated very nicely. The long finish is earthy with hints of chocolate and dried flowers. Beautiful wine to enjoy now or over the next 2-3 years. Enjoyed with chicken fajitas. Score: 90+ pts
