Carmen Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2005

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileVery pleasant spicy meaty sweet fruit nosed with bits of dried herbs menthol and licorice. Rich and warm on entry with firm, small-grained tannins with more peppery, cassis fruit and black pepper in the finish. Big and solid and will improve with time in the bottle. The blend is an even split of cabernet and syrah. Good value.Tasted: 08 August 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
