title: Casa Silva 2001 Reserve - Est Bottled Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)
description: At first take, the aromas are of barbecued meats, beets and earth; later some lemony oak emerges. The fruit here is nice: It's a clean mix of cassis and cherry, with toasty oak-based undercurrents. Very solid and sturdy, and a bit charred at the edges. Try it for a positive look into modern Carmenère.
