Casillero del Diablo Merlot 2002
Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe merlot comes out of Rapel Valley and is aged 70 per cent in small American oak barrels for 8 months. 30% aged in stainless steel for 8 months. As usual the Casillero merlot is impressively dark, soft and juicy. The aftertaste is a mix of sweet plums and savoury spiced fruitcake. Will be extremely versatile with food or as a standalone sipper. Still a bit chunky and youthful all of which bodes well for its development in bottle through 2004.Tasted: 29 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $12.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
