Maucho Reserva Cairgnan
Maule Valley, Central Valley, Chile
I've had this wine before, and this bottle is not doing it for me too much. Deep dark crimson with ruby rim. On the nose, a croc of freshly picked strawberries in a pig pen. Second tear currant aromas. Nothing too exciting. Quite inky on the palate, with decent creaminess of full body. Blueberry juice, indigo ink, and then a solid wall of somewhat coarse tannins. Unrefined, somewhat unpleasing and not too harmonic, out of sync, a bit disjointed, and uninteresting. Finishes long with lingering acidity and bitterness. Maybe I would try to pair this wine with pizza with extra sauce. 79 pts.
