Casa Lapostolle Merlot 1998

Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileFrom the cool '98 vintage comes this earthy, peppery red with rubber tire-like aromas. The wet tobacco leaf nose is tough to get by and the taste is similar. Dry, lean, coffee tobacco flavours. Definitely not up to Lapostolle usual standard for merlot.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
