Apalta Valley, Santa Cruz, Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileTobacco leaf, coffee, floral, cassis jam, spicy, cedar, eucalyptus, sappy orange peel aromas. Rich, ripe, round, somewhat tannic entry and very grainy. Big coffee, cassis, sappy, cedar, minty, vanilla, peppery, chocolate, meaty flavours. Finish is very warm with some acidity and tannins to shed. Ripe rich, full-bodied blend that could use a bit of restraint and styling to reach its full potential.Tasted: 05 July 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
