Estampa Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileSomewhat reduced, rubbery, meaty, leesy, coffee, gamey, black pepper aromas. Round, dry, slightly tannic palate but well balanced. Good plum, black cherry, meaty, gamey, licorice, menthol, tobacco flavours with a vanilla, cassis finish. Good palate and flavours but the nose is a bit too dirty. Try airing this first as the fruit is there.Tasted: 11 April 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
