Cigarette ash, not fruit driven, oak tinges. A slightly leaner style, drying tannin. Medium bodied but still with intensity. Quite oaked.</p><p>Tasted on Sun, May 25, 2014.</p>Terence L.2014-05-25T13:43:44Z2010 Santa Carolina MerlotLars H.http://corkscore.com/wine/117151#review-401492013-01-12T12:21:51Z2013-01-12T12:21:48Z<p><b>86 points</b> - Basic yet quaffable merlot.

A perfumed nose of a herbal spice light-coloured wood/stalk. Very flavourful, slight dip in mid palate. Delicious tobacco/cigar box , leather flavours. A good balance of sweetness and acidity. Started off with lots of juicy brash lipsmacking fruit, but after an hour, settled into fine tannic elegance. Nice long tobacco leaf finish. Good stuff!</p><p>Tasted on Fri, Mar 27, 2009.</p>Terence L.2009-03-26T13:00:00Z2005 Hacienda Araucano François Lurton Alka CarménèreLars H.http://corkscore.com/wine/25143#review-10172009-03-26T13:00:00Z2009-03-26T13:00:00Z<p><b>94 points</b> - Fresh Minty stalky aroma at first. After an hour the aroma opened up into a beautiful mix of cherry and leaves. Sweet and sour theme with masterful balance. Yummy but not very elegant. Straight forward joy. Great length and finish. Not much complexity. Juicy. An amazingly happy wine, young berries all over. Improved significantly after a while in the glass, making the tannins more grippy and interesting. Tobacco and berry. Wonderful wine. Lurton knows his stuff.</p><p>Tasted on Fri, Mar 27, 2009.</p>Lars H.2009-03-26T13:00:00Z2001 Almaviva EpuLars H.http://corkscore.com/wine/25026#review-5412009-02-12T13:00:00Z2009-01-10T13:00:00Z<p><b>91 points</b> - Tobacco and red fruit aroma. Intense flvour. Tannic and some nice bitterness. Savoury. Needs a bit more time. Great wine.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Jan 7, 2009.</p>Lars H.2009-01-10T13:00:00Z
