What a powerhouse wine!!
04/09/2008
by Gibson12575056
Last night I had the 2004 vintage and it was one of the most lovely wines I've had in a long time. Voilets and cassis were predominant in the nose and the finish was exceptionally long. Much more fruity than I expected with hints of camphor. I have paid over $100 for wines that weren't as good.
Agree with Gibson Reviewer

I had tasted the 2004 while at the winery - shortly after it's release and it was fantastic. I opened this up on 11/20 and received a powerful blast of cassis and loamy earth aromas. I had decanted this and experienced changes over the journey through the wine: hints of grilled herb, menthol on the nose and the palate. I have also recently tasted the 2001 vintage on several occasions and expect that this wine will evolve in a similar way: untighten a little and take on a little more of the earthy and cigar box aromas and palate.

This wine was highly touted as being one of the best wines for the price, and i might agree with that. I think it could have used a little more time in the bottle, because when i drank it i didn't agree with the Wine Spectator rating of 95. Don't get me wrong, this was a good wine, but i felt the coffee on the nose was overpowering of the other aromas. Good wine, but not as good as i was expecting after reading the reviews.

Although Chile extends more than 2,000 miles from north to south, its grape-growing regions are clustered in the center of the country, where rainfall is concentrated during the winter months, and where an absence of fungal diseases makes for relatively carefree grape-farming.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon built its reputation on Bordeaux's Left Bank. Here, in the district of Medoc, the varietal is the key component of blended wines that also may include some Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and even Malbec and Petit Verdot. Moving slightly south, Cabernet Sauvignon meets Merlot in roughly equal proportions in the red wines of Graves. In both of these Bordeaux regions, the top bottles...
