Tarapacá Gran Reserva 2021 Carmenère is dry, medium-plus-bodied and plushy with cassis, black olive, grilled herbs and white pepper spice flavours long and silky on the palate. A solid Carmenère with a mouthful or ripe dark fruits, enjoy it through 2026. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
