Blue Towers (chile)

Casas del Toqui

Gran Toqui Cachapoal Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Dark ruby color. Aromas of blue and black fruit, forest floor and leather. Ripe black cherry and dark plum in the palate with additional hints of dark chocolate, roasted poblano pepper, dried herbs, tobacco and baking spices. Touch of minerality on the long and lingering finish. Full bodied, bold and chewy. Thanks for opening, Ron B! — 23 days ago

So balanced. So pleasurable and drinkable. You will drink the whole bottle without even blinking (or thinking) Deep ruby color, pronounced aromas of blue and black fruit (blueberries, grapes, black cherries and cassis) herbal (mint, sage) and balsamic (eucalyptus) hints of oak (coffee and dark cocoa). Medium(+) body, medium acidity, medium ripe tannins and medium(+) finish. #carmenère #carmenere #chile #chileanwine — 4 years ago

1 hour plus decant. Dark red color with a hint of brown edges. Nose has blue and black fruit with Shiraz characteristics. Wine is deep but fairly one dimensional with dark cherry fruit. Medium finish. Awesome texture and very pleasant. Surprised to see afterwards that it was 14.5% alcohol, as it didn’t seem it. Overall my expectations were slightly exceeded. — 4 years ago

Santa Rita

Estate Bottled Casa Real Alto Santa Rita Old Vines Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Extremely solid wine, could have sat in bottle many more years. No one guessed it was Chilean and by far the best Cabernet from Chile I have ever had. Big blue and red fruits, cigar wrapper, graphite, yum yum 😋 — 2 years ago

30+ minute decant. Purple and red color mix. Restrained nose of blackberries and bbq chicken. Nice blue and black fruit, but lacked depth. Great texture and extremely easy drinking. Paired nicely with pasta. I really enjoyed this for the price! — 4 years ago

Casa Lapostolle

Cuvée Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Syrah 2012

Tons of sediment, so give this a decant. It was open right away and very tasty, but better on day 3. Inky with lots of dark blue fruit. Some seasoned oak on the nose. Still good tannic structure, but not grippy in any way. The acidity is still there, but toned down. Dark blue fruit transfers to the palate. Wish I had more. — 4 years ago

Viñedos Errázuriz Ovalle

Panilonco Reserva Chief of Lions Colchagua Valley Carménère 2020

Color of pity, a bit berry and blue tone on the rim. Nose of ripe blackberry, raspberry, cherry jam, spice, carbonate, and medicinal strawberry. Nose is on par. Taste follows the nose with addition of ample acidity, a bit citrus zesty, and some bitterness. Aftertaste of some more oaky flavors. On par. — 3 years ago

Tololo

Curico Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Nice Chilean Cab. Blue/Black berry/currant aromas and flavors with nice hints of spices and mint. Tannins are present, but there is good balance. Austere and fresh tasting. Pleasant surprise. Thank You Ron B. — 3 years ago

Casa Lapostolle

Cuvée Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Smells of ripe blue and blackberry, black pepper, fresh leather, sweet flowers. Very pretty. The tannin is fading, but holding on. Acidity rushes down the side and front of the tongue. The mouth feel is thick and fruit forward, but not over extracted in any way, with blue and blackberry to mirror the nose. The method of production using weight to crush the grapes really comes through with softer tannin and less extraction, yet still fruit forward and rose bud and leather finish. Just yum. — 4 years ago

Haras de Pirque & Antinori

Albis Maipo Valley Red Blend 2006

Thick and starting to deepen in color. Nose has menthol and dark brooding berries. This is day 2 open and the menthol is really taking trip on the nose. More than I remember on day 1. The tannins are silky and acidity still present, but fading. Green menthol and dark berries, blue and black, pine needles too and a bit of forest floor. Tasty. — 5 years ago
