It&#8217;s Santa Carolina&#8217;s icon Carmenere, named Herencia, and it comes in a huge, heavy bottle. It has a price tag to match &#8211; \u00a3100. But it failed the empty bottle test. I opened it last night with two others, and we had a glass each, commenting on how seductive it was. And tonight, I&#8217;ve returned to it, but I can&#8217;t summon up the enthusiasm to drink it, opting for a New Zealand Syrah instead.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a bad wine at all. It has an amazing seductive quality, with lots of very sweet fruit. But it has pushed the ripeness spectrum just a little too far. It will no doubt appeal to some palates &#8211; and some critics (a fellow UK critic gave it 94\/100) &#8211; but I don&#8217;t really enjoy this style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Santa Carolina Herencia Carmenere 2007 DO Peumo, Chile<br \/>\n<\/strong>14.5% alcohol. Very seductive sweet liqueur-like blackcurrant and blackberry nose with sweet creamy oak and a hint of coconut. The palate is seductive and bold with concentrated, inky black fruits and some lushness, as well as fine-grained tannins. Pushing ripeness to its limits, this is a very sweet, concentrated, seductive wine that flirts with spoofiness. It has a sense of deliciousness, but I wouldn&#8217;t pay \u00a3\u00a3\u00a3\u00a3 for it. 89\/100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ll have to admit it, but I was slightly disappointed by this wine.
