Valdivieso Caballo Loco No. 4 NV

Region del Valle Central, ChileAnother magical blend of cabernet sauvignon, malbec, cabernet franc, pinot noir and merlot. Fifty percent of No 4 comes from Caballo Loco Number 3, which contains 50 percent of Caballo Loco Number 2. The colour is both deep and dark. The nose is less fruity now showing more shades of coffee and mocha aromas. Look for its trademark clove, pepper, orange spice aromas, rich flavours and a fine balance of oak and fruit. Very stylish. A fine Bordeaux-style red that has consistently top our tastings. We love the price too.Tasted: 11 September 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
