Carmen Grande Vidure/Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1999

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileBarnyard sappy cassis and lots of leafy herbal tones. Ripe round fruit with strong menthol spice cassis. A big bruiser with vanilla dill and leaf components that over power the palate. Not for the timid. Needs food and ageing. Controversial to say the least.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
