Apalta Valley, Santa Cruz, Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileBig spicy, eucalyptus, black cherry, sappy, vanilla, peppery, leather and rosemary aromas. Rich, full, dry, somewhat tannic but suave with good acidity. Coffee, vanilla, cedar, black plum, black pepper, dried herb, cedar, meaty, garrigue and tapenade flavours. Good intensity and balance despite being warm. Needs 3-5 years to fully soften the youthful tannins. Excellent syrah.Tasted: 20 December 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
