In Casillero del Diablo Carmenere is smooth and delicate with intense color, smooth, round tannins, and attractive aromas of black currant and chocolate. Ideal with aged cheese.

NOSE – Very expressive fruit with outstanding mature berries, forest fruit joined with
delicate hints of coffee and toast coming from the barrels.

typical fruit like plums, blackberries and some spicy touches. The tannins are
polished and long with a medium body at the end.

sauces and berries.
