點擊次數(shù)：4815

The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva (100%) spent 12 months in mostly French oak, 25% new. Cedar, tobacco, spice box, violets, and black fruits are some of the elements composing the bouquet of this friendly Cabernet that displays a sense of elegance. Smooth textured, concentrated, and well-balanced, it is very good value meant for drinking over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Laird & Co., Scobeyville, NJ; tel. (732) 542-0312

Good but limited Cabernet that opens with equal amounts of dark fruit, fine rubber and settled oak. The palate is meaty and thick, with plodding tannins giving support to black plum and berry flavors. Finishes a little short and roasted and without much juiciness. Best to drink soon.——M.S.(9/1/2008)—— 86

Firm up front, with cherry and leather-based aromas. Full and fruity, with solid plum and blackberry flavors. Offers good depth, quality fruit and some chocolate on the finish. Well balanced; it’s one of those classic, value-priced Chilean Cabernets. Imported by Laird & Company. ——M.S.(7/1/2006)—— 88
