Chakana Syrah 2006

Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaBig open expressive meaty black fruit nose with intense streaks of spicy, savoury, menthol throughout. The entry is quite smooth with meaty, resiny, black cherry, coriander notes on the mid-palate and finish. Still with some lurking youthful tannins the Argentines would subdue with some barbecued meat.Tasted: 31 October 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
