點擊次數(shù)：7975

Dense, grapy and rubbery smelling, but with airing it unveils aromas of violet and blackberry pie. It feels grabby and tannic but healthy, with blueberry, blackberry and herb flavors. Sweet-tasting oak and a pinch of green herb define the finish. This is a blend of 60% Carmenere and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. — (9/1/2012) —88

Blueberry and other sweet aromas are forward, floral and ripe. In the mouth, this blend is alert and juicy, with ripe berry flavors, ample oak and plenty of toast, coffee, pepper and herbs. Spreads out on the finish, and overall it’s showing class and clarity for an under-$15 wine.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 89

Fairly generic on the nose, with a floral accent. The mouthfeel is tannic and hard, thus the name Toro de Piedra (Bull of Stone) is appropriate. Rubbery, dark and baked flavors of blackberry and chocolate give this a masculine personality, and the finish is pure nails. This may be one to hold for another year; maybe the tannins will soften.——M.S.(5/1/2009)—— 85

This Carmenere blend starts with piercing oak notes manifested in scents of butter and lactic paint, while the palate is equally infused with wood grain that lends a bitter spiciness to the basic fruit. Imported by Wineco Corp.——M.S.(11/15/2007)—— 82
