Torreón de Paredes Merlot Reserva 2001
Rengo, Valle del Cachapoal, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe reserva version of the merlot has a spicy herbal, minty, green olive nose. Similar earthy, minty, resiny flavours dominate on the palate with supple but dry tannins in the background. It's soft, smooth and ready to drink but we would prefer a bit more ripe fruit.Tasted: 14 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $16.95 | 750ml | Speculative - Reichel-Waldorf |
