Carmenere: The Chilean wine born in a suit and tie
“Finally a $20-something you wouldn’t be ashamed taking home to your parents.”
——
3 bottles of Carmenere (inc 1 from Italy)
Talk about savoury flavours before ageing. (Comes out of the womb with trousers, suspenders and a cardigan)
Like most of us in middle-age, he likes barbecues
Bottom of the price range, already serious; young wine, already serious.
And less tannic than a classic bordeaux savoury wine. Pair it with BBQ. Grilled meats. Herby salads.
The rarest of things: a £20-something you wouldn’t be ashamed to take home to your parents.
