Odfjell Orzada Carmenere - 2019 (750ml)

94 points Patricio Tapia

The style of the Orzada line has undergone radical changes in recent years, especially with regard to the harvest date and the use of oak. Wines that used to be heavy and oaky have now become much fresher and crisper. For example, this carmenere has not been aged in oak since 2016 and uses stainless steel and cement spheres instead, while the harvest date has been brought forward by at least a month and a half, resulting in a more refreshing wine with redder fruits. With a good dose of herbal notes that blend with the red fruit, this carmenere is a delight of flavors and depth.
