Matetic Corralillo Carmenere 2024: Dark Fruit Elegance

Omar Diallo — Really impressed with this one

8/10

Bought this for a dinner party and it went down really well. Loads of dark plum and blackberry flavour, and there's this smoky thing going on that I loved. Tannins are firm but not harsh. Would definitely buy again.

Herbert Muller — Nice birthday treat

7/10

Got this as a birthday present from my sister. Not a grape I'd tried before but I really enjoyed it. Rich and fruity with some herby notes and a long dry finish. Not sure I'd spend £20 on it myself regularly but it does feel a bit special.

Freya Lindqvist — Perfect with steak

8/10

Had this with a ribeye and honestly it was brilliant. The dark chocolate and plum flavours really come through and the black pepper on the finish is gorgeous. At 14% it's got some heft to it but doesn't taste boozy at all.
