green tea and floral nuances

Its not much fun to drink today and needs another 2-3 years of bottle age to hopefully open up

but with extended aeration showed a stronger

pure and airy nose is naturally spicy with its essence of acacia blossom

I'd drink it over the next 7-10 years

Benjamin Romeo, Carmen Gran Reserva Size:6x750ml green tea and floral nuancesThe 2008 Carmen Gran Reserva has a classic nose with notes of American oak, some herbaceous character (I mean it in a positive, fresh way) in the shape of some spearmint. It displays an array of notes of tobacco, cured meats, leather, balsamic herbs and a hint of chalk. The medium bodied palate reveals a powerful Gran Reserva, with intense flavors, great acidity and length. This wine is very different in style to the rest of Benjamin's wines,
