Still ruby at centre with a wide ruby/garnet rim, showing a bit of age, but about in line with expectations . Quite sweet, blackcurrant fruit. Touch of spice and coffee, cocoa. On the palate , a sweet attack, showing more black fruits , tobacco, liquorice and allspice . A pretty big wine , though it is just about balanced, alcohol is noticeable. Not much refreshment value here, quite difficult to see myself drinking more than a couple of glasses! Tannins are quite fine grained , sweet. It’s a blend that I don’t understand to be honest, not sure what the Pinot Noir brings to this. It’s an interesting wine nonetheless and quite well made, but it is a bit of a curiosity , perhaps. It is drinking well now, I don’t see much improvement , though it will still last for a few more years.

BO RO BO, Clos Apalte, 2011, DO Colchagua valley.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir
Сушеная вишня, смородина, может, немного клюквы, сдобрили все это вялеными томатами. Позже появляются масляные и пряные тона. Затем остаются только специи.
