Mayu Gran Reserva Carmenère 2013, Elqui Valley, Coquimbo, Chile: Big smoky, mocha aromas with generous layers of luscious black fruit on the palate. Terrific price for such quality. Carmenère is the flagship grape of Chile, and it shows in this glass. There's a lovely weave of dried tobacco and espresso on the finish. Decant 1-2 hours and enjoy with a hearty meat dish. Pair with meat lovers' pizza. Drink: 2013-2017. 90035 15% D 750 mL $19.95 Score: 91/100. April 18, 2015
