#AgedWineTuesday

Dark inky in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing age at all.

Strong nose of blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, vegetables, cloves, herbs, bell pepper, peppercorn, spices, dark chocolates and cola.

Full bodied, bold and extracted, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, raisins, vanilla, oak, licorice, spices, vegetables, bitter herbs, graphite, chocolates, earth and pencil lead.

Medium minus on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 12 year old Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon blend is very enjoyable. Drinking very nicely now with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.

Right out of the bottle, it is a very earthy with lots of green vegetable notes, smells like a garden. Once it opens up, it is so much better.

Needs 90 minutes to open up properly and remove much of the vegetable notes.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with 3 different Brie cheeses. Big and bold, rich and extracted.

A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Carmenere, 6% Cabernet Franc and 5% Syrah.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$30.

2005 vintage. It's holding up quite well. Plenty of of life left. Stewed black fruit, currant, cigar box, peppery spice, touch of barnyard

Dark currant and plum fruit on the nose with hints of cigar box spice fine herbs very stylish and elegant. A Chilean Bordeaux blend a very nice mix of peppery spice tobacco nuance a savory finish with smooth fine tannins. Finish 35+ very good +

Always a nice surprise on this one, nice peppery and okay flavors ...
Lots of black fruits and a medium body.
Remind me of a cab franc very earthy.

Was excited when I saw the CS / Carmenere blend but proved to be a bit disappointing. Hints of pineapple and tropical fruits which was interesting but surprising in a red. Better as a summer sipping wine than something with meat or heavy foods.
