Carmen Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileLovely sweet ripe cassis nose with spicy, peppery, menthol, saddle leather and coriander nose. Ripe, round, dry but supple with light grainy tannins. Intense cassis jam, menthol, cherry, cedar, and tobacco flavours with sweet oak vanilla and black olive on the finish. Good finesse if a bit acidic at the end. Very good value for cabernet fans.Tasted: 10 March 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
