THE WINE ADVOCATE 93 points - Drink 2021 - 2027 - "The most impressive Carmenere I remember from Concha y Toro has to be the 2019 Terrunyo Carmenere, produced with selected grapes from their plot 27 in Peumo in Cachapoal, complemented with 3% Cabernet franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were ripe and the wine reached 14.5% alcohol, but it goes unnoticeable and comes through as balanced and fresh. The oak is perfectly integrated; they have shortened the élevage in barrique to nine months and still used 58% new barrels! 60,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2020." - Luis Gutiérrez 08/21
