Veramonte Primus 2000

Valle de Casablanca, Region de Aconcagua, ChileIntense cigar ash and saddle leather with herbal cassis and cherry fruit aromas streaked with dill. Certainly representative of the 60 per cent carmenère, 22 merlot and 18 cabernet sauvignon blend and the cool, alto Casablanca region. Very smooth and suave on the palate with a little bit of heat (alcoholic) but there's plenty of minty tobacco and chocolate cherry fruit flavours to carry the finish. Another good effort in a difficult year.Tasted: 02 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
