Valdivieso Caballo Loco Number Seven "V" NV

Region del Valle Central, ChileAnother solid Caballo Loco made from an intriguing blend of grapes and vintages (half of the wine comes from the previous vintage and half of that form the previous vintage and so on. Look for a minty cassis, cardamom, spicy, cherry nose streaked with black olive, vanilla, peppery and smoky aromas. It's very aromatic. Rich, round, dry, slightly tannic entry but with its typically elegant structure. Big peppery, smoky vanilla, chocolate, spicy, minty, black cherry, plum jam flavours. Fruit from Chile with finesse and Bordeaux structure. Continued high quality and value. Needs 3-5 years.Tasted: 26 March 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
