The 2018 Carema is fabulous. Deep and exquisitely layered, the 2018 shows off its depth and sheer pedigree right out of the gate. There is so much going on. Sweet dark cherry, plum, leather, menthol, spice, dried herbs and leather are some of the many nuances that flesh out in the glass. More than anything, though, it is the wine's balance that is just exquisite. This is a fabulous example of Carema. Impressive. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2022)

Decanted 1 hr. N: Leather cherries, roses, cinnamon and oriental* spices, a bit tarry.tobacco.Ever evolving. P: light and somewhat chewy/tannic on the palate. Mouth filling, very woodsy, cherries in the background, long finish, definitely some roses, Carema is wonderful in it’s lightness yet fullness. An oxymoronic wine for sure. It often rides that brown/red edge. Perfect! Thanks @fasselection With more time and air, the tarry, sappy quality increases.

Nose is fresh hand crushed red berries. A hint of licorice. Intoxicating. Very sexy. As it opens, more sensual and silky. Later licorice flower perfume. Some fresh cedar. Palate is a bit tight on open. Cherry. Cherry liquor. Some cherry cough syrup. As it opens that elegant deliciousness. Wow. So silky and clean. Really a spectacularly well made wine. Bought from fass selections
