Winemaker Review: Aged for two years in cask, the 2008 Carrascal is a blended wine. It has a rustic blackberry, scorched earth and leather-scented bouquet with touches of pressed flowers. The palate is well-balanced with crisp tannins, expressive black tarry fruit and a Bordeaux-like finish. Drink now-2016.
My Review: This was an incredible red blend. I noticed the oak, which was embedded into the wine via the cask. It had a strong, earthy taste, as well as hints of blackberry and black currant. It had a strong finish with a good amount of tannins. I feel as though this would be a great wine to age.
