Santa Carolina Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva de Familia 1998

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileCoffee vanilla and minty cassis flavours open up quickly in the glass with a pinch of barnyard and leather underneath. Fine richness with similar flavours but there's also a hint of hollowness in the finish. It is a good wine but it lacks the structure it should carry at this price level.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
