Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon Los Quillayes Vineyard 2012

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileClassic Maipo here from its bay leaf nose to its stony mineral red fruit finish. In between there is a whack of fresh cedar, smoky resiny black cherry fruit with a bit of chocolate, dried crushed leaf and firm but controlled tannin. Made for grilled lamb when young and better beef cuts as it ages. Needs extra bottle time but otherwise well done.Tasted: 03 May 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
