The 2009 Concha Y Toro Marques De Casa Concha Carmenère is medium bodied, fruity to INTEGRATED wine, with nice aromas of blackberry, cedar, green pepper and vanilla. It is tannic (decant 30 to 60 min) and the finish is medium to long. It is good to drink now, but will benefit from aging as the structure is still a bit disconnected, drink 2013/4-2020. My impression: NICE to BEAUTIFUL, 90 pts - though a recommended buy, I cannot say it's the best value for the buck. Tasted Sept/11, revisited Jan/12.
