A little dry. The aroma of the black cherry is intense.

A very rich Cab. Loads of dried figs flavor with hints of coffee liquer.

Much like their Merlot I had previously. I detected Black dense fruits like Black Currants and Blackberries. Note of spiciness purhaps cloves. Underlying this was a woody oak, tobacco and bell pepper. Wine starts well with black heavy berries prevelant. Mid palette was very, very nice with a touch of silky caramel feel and taste to it. The finish was a tad acidic and very dry. If you like dry wines wiht massive tannins, this might be for you. Very good wine for the price, but I was a little disappointed by the showing. Might have been my high expectations, since I am a huge fan of the Concha y Toro wines. I perferred the Merlot much more. Tad out of balance caused by the acidity and the tannis. Could be that this wine needs to airate much longer than I allowed (3 hours). Do NOT just open this wine and drink. You will be disappointed.

On the first nose: nice rounded vanilla, almost overpowering vanilla. Cherry, definitely, maybe mixed with grape jelly, but also cranberry juice. There is also something green in there, some vegetable deep in the lower-half of the nose. On the mouth: Alcohol needs some time to mellow, that is for certain. This is not a pop-n-drink wine. Nice (IMHO) chalky tannins that some would likely call dry, but it is not too tight … this is something we really, really enjoy. Definitely a bold cab. OAK. Made us want to move it all around in our mouths. Spicy fruit; colors of the rainbow. After three hours the nose was much more balanced between the fruit and the vanilla (oak). Nice ocean breeze, perhaps clean-wet laundry. Something smoky in there too. Again something green; green beans? A grasshopper was thrown in, maybe by accident?!? After good aeration the chalky tannins mellowed considerably and displayed unsweetened chocolate in the mid-palate with some rusty cherries; a bit harsh on the finish and still very hot with alcohol. WOULD WE DRINK IT AGAIN? Not necessarily; neither Darcey nor I feel we want to drink this again any time soon, but we both agreed that it held our interest, for a while at least, and we wouldn’t dump it if someone brought us some. You should know that we are wine-first people, and food-pairing is not our goal at this point (we drink more than we eat, believe it or not); by the end of the bottle we were sort of just drinking it and not oohing and ahhhing. WOULD WE BUY IT AGAIN? No! Too many others at this price point I would prefer.

Decent for the price. A bit dry with a nice woodsy tobacco note. I probably would not buy this again, but it might go quite well with a good cigar.

Crazily overpowering vanilla oak on the nose with some not unpleasant bell pepper and subdued dark fruit. Not what the hype was saying it would be.
