What Critics Think
Wine Spectator : 90 Points
(12/31/2022) There's a lot to admire in this well-structured version, offering floral blueberry and blackberry preserves up front, with details of roasted red pepper, hot stone and fresh green herbs folding in around fine tannins. Drink now through 2028.
Wine Enthusiast : 90 Points
(5/1/2024) This red doesn't hide the herbaceous character that is typical of Carmenere, but these flavors are counterpointed by blackberries and hints of baking spices, making it friendly and enjoyable.
Vinous : 90 Points
(6/2022) The 2020 Carmenere Cromas from Peralillo, Colchagua, and was half aged in 30% new barrels. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of blackberry and hints of spice plus touches of ash and herbs. Broad with a little grip and a medium body. Ripe, fruity flavors linger at the back of the mouth. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2028.
James Suckling : 91 Points
(4/29/2022) A medium-to full-bodied Carmenere with lots of dark, grilled cumin, black beans, olives and smoked meat. Dry and tannic with a juicy core of fruit, without being sweet. A bit tight now, so drink in 2024.
