Marqués de Casa Concha Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Really nice wine
Cor: vermelho de média intensidade com lagrimas espessas.

Aromas: predominam os aromas de frutas negras blackberry, Mirtilo e amoras negras acompanhados dos aromas de pimentão, baunilha, tabacco, pimentão, e notas de violetas.

Paladar: corpo de médio pra mais, com sabor das frutas predominantes, confirmando os aromas encontrados no vinho. Taninos ainda jovems e bem presente com acidez se mostrando presente também, trazendo um bom equilíbrio e final persistente.

Pale gold hue. Aromas of honey, orange, peach, tangerine. Plus body and plus acidity. Relatively short finish, but an intriguing aftertaste. Solid dessert wine. — 3 months ago

Santa Rita

Medalla Real Gold Medal Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

This is a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red and black fruits on the nose with earth notes and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward.

Showing currants, cooked plums, black cherries, light oak, spices and chocolates.

Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

A good everyday wine and much better than the last time I had this vintage (3 years ago).

14% alcohol by volume.

Coyam Los Robles Estate Red Blend 2017

Rita brought back from Santiago. Decanted it. Super full body. A real steak slayer — 2 years ago

Casa Lapostolle

Le Petit Clos Apalta Red Blend 2017

Decanted 3 hrs prior to tasting.

Aromas - medium intensity green pepper and quince, red plum, dark cherry, currant, slight damp earth. Savory and stony mineral notes emerge over time.

Palate - medium bodied, medium+ acid and ripe medium tannins. Ripe fruit and mineral across an expansive yet weightless mid palate and a medium + length mineral driven finish.

The structure and complexity are here to allow for aging and I feel this will be better in 4-6 years.

The group favorite in tonight's wine tasting, paired with Ribeyes. All 3 wines were very enjoyable.
