Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon Casa Real 2005

Buin, Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileLast but not least is the Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon Casa Real 2005, perhaps the best I have ever tasted. Made with 40-plus year old fruit the Casa Real entices you with its sublime nose of mint, cassis and spicy liquorice all supporting pure plum fruit. The textures are sublime, so supple, so balanced and zero green. Nothing but rich dense fruit in a sophisticated cabernet sauvignon. The best since 1999 and perhaps already better than that fine bottle.Tasted: 13 October 2010Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
