Miguel Torres Manso de Velasco 1998
Valle del Curicó, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe 1998 vintage was a tough one in Chile. Plenty of rain made for a disastrous harvest but thanks to 100-year-old dry farmed vines, the five-hectare vineyard of Manso de Velasco, located in Fundo San Francisco Norte, has made a very good wine. Now showing a bit of bottle age, the nose and flavours mix cassis, cigar butt and leather. The tannins are smooth if a bit dry. Needs drinking but otherwise well made for the year.Tasted: 08 June 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| ON | $39.00 | 750ml | winery private collection |
