Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The 2017 Carmenere, crafted at the Casa del Bosque Winery in Chile, reveals aromas of red cherry, black plum, green peppercorn, sweet tobacco, caramel and sandalwood. Made from Carmenere with a touch of Syrah, the Casa del Bosque shows a full body with lovely integrated tannins and a warm finish. Flavors of dark skin plum, ripe cherry, graphite, smoke, fresh herbs, vanilla and oak. Solid Chilean wine. Enjoy!

Natalie's Review

Casas del Bosque Reserva Carmenère 2017, Rapel Valley D.O., Chile: Casas del Bosque 2017 Reserva Carmenère is a succulent mouthful of blueberry, ripe dark cherries, sweet plum flavours, smoky vanilla and toasty oak spice flavours on the palate. Excellent value under $20. The wine was aged in oak barrel for 10 months. Fresh acidity on this wine to pair with smoky, braised meats. Drink: 2019-2024. 205872 14.50% XD 750 mL $15.95 Score: 90/100.

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.
