Casa Silva Los Lingues Gran Reserva Carmenère 2006
Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileCasa Silva impressed me with its 05 Los Lingues Gran Reserva but the '06 may be even better. The carmenère specialist has released a perfectly ripe version of this difficult to ripen variety. Some 60 per cent of the blend is fermented in one-year old oak (that periodically gets rolled over) for seven months. This gives the wine a slippery sheen, flecked with vanilla and chocolate and plenty of dense, ripe black fruit. The finish has touch of mint and compost. Very fine.
