Casillero del Diablo Merlot 2000

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileVery appealing, great value merlot captures fine, pure black currant, eucalyptus aromatic character typical of Chile. Also some sweet berries in cream oak vanillin. Medium weight, with good depth, smoothness and length. Spicy green bell pepper and sausage aromas with a touch of cassis jam and smoked leather. Intense spicy minty fruit with gamy undertones and smoked leather in the finish. Soft merlot textures make it easy to drink. Think barbecued ribs for a perfect match.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
