Corralillo Syrah

The typical Syrah aromas are there. Actually an ok wine. The expectations where pretty low thou.

Almost shiraz-like in rich/ripeness of fruit, toastiness & color. Those Chilean pepper/tomato undertones pop out. Big & meaty, good bit of heat on finish.

Did not care for this one. My note from the tasting was simply "too harsh and peppery." #TexSom

Old World all the way, varietally correct, some age mellowed it out & enjoyable - ultimately more provincial than Big Leagues

Good nose , pepper-ish and fruity

Full and dry

While the food was good, I liked the wine better.

Light-moderate tannin, light-moderate acid, moderate plus alcohol, light moderate weight, moderate aroma. Blackberry, fig, mostly dark purple/black fruits.. Deep purple color.

Matetic Coralillo Syrah 2009. Biodynamic Syrah from Chile. A bit high in alcohol (14.5%). A bit too thick. Still, nice nose and good fruit flavors.

Berries berries berries ... Blueberries, blackberries... Beautiful deep almost black red. Loved it. £15 pounds at wholefoods market
