Cousiño Macul Antiguas Reservas Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileReserva Antiguas is a revered label in Chile but green notes and dry leather flavours never quite cut it. The good news is there's a new day at Cousiño Macul and it's all about cleaner wines and better winemaking. The 03 has a new look and taste and it begins with blackberry fruit. There's fine concentration and weight on the palate with grainy tannins and just a hint of leaf and the old rusticity. Well done. Bring on the roast beef.Tasted: 10 October 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
