Great Sunday afternoon drinker — 7 months ago
Wonderful blend 85% cab, 10% carmenere, 5% Syrah. So smooth. It’s been open for 20 minutes; I’ll be excited to try it after 40. Pretty darn delicious though. — 2 years ago
Last night I opened the 2018 Los Vascos Cromas Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva. A Domaines Barons De Rothschild-Lafite from Valle de Colchagua, Chile. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah and 5% Carménère.
On the nose was black cherry, blackberry, plum, mint, black currant, herbaceous, chocolate and earth.
On the palate there was black cherry, blackberry, black currant, baking spice, black pepper, chocolate, graphite and dusty soil.
This is a full bodied wine with a smooth plush mouthfeel medium+ acidity and medium + fine tannins that has a long dark fruit crushed gravel finish. A very nice wine and great QPR. Please enjoy the week ahead and try and be good friend. Stay safe and healthy and we will prosper innthe week ahead. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 3 years ago
v20. Very good…decant. Nice, soft tobacco nose. Rich, dark, blackberry, raspberry and soft tar fruit. Lean, smooth, slightly tart and astringent mineral finish. Nice charcuterie wine. — 2 months ago

Very grassy and somewhat floral nose, not sure the flower, maybe even a little pine needle or green, hard fruit. The palate is very light surprisingly, with equally vegetal and grassy notes throughout, with a dry finish, slight minerality but very fresh. Almost hints of sour green apple candy in there but def not the sweetness, with a nicely integrated acidity. This is definitely not a typical sav blanc, and any New Zealand or Aussie lover will balk probably, but I honestly prefer this. — 2 years ago
This is the 2019 Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite Los Vascos Cromas Carménère Gran Reserva. From Valle de Colchagua, Chile.
The nose has notes of cherry, strawberry, unripe plum, spice, herbaceous notes, vanilla, green bell pepper and a granite minerality.
On the palate is sour cherry, raspberry, roasted red pepper, herbaceous, green peppercorn, and a granite minerality.
This wine is medium to full body and is very green with vibrant medium + acidity and medium + to high grainy tannins which leaves you with a long herbaceous sour red fruit gravelly finish. It is really hard with this one to get past the green notes of this wine. All the structure is there but either you decant for a long time or let it age for many years. Have a wonderful weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 3 years ago
