Bodegas CARO
James
Suckling - Incredible aromas of spice, cedar, walnut and dark berry.
Floral too. Spectacular nose. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a racy
and refined finish.
Fresh and succulent. Made from old vines of malbec in Compuertas and
cabernet sauvignon from Altamira.
Such finesse. Half the normal production. The best wine ever from
Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Nicolas catena winery.

Wine Spectator -
Compact, featuring
concentrated cassis, wild berry, spice box and aromatic tobacco notes
wound with full yet fine tannins. Full-bodied and complex, delivering a
long aftertaste of fruit and sweet spice. |

Bodegas CARO
Wine Spectator -
The 2009 Caro Blend
is made up of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 18 months
in 80% new French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple colour, it is a
serious wine with a Bordeaux-like personality. Captivating aromas of
sandalwood, exotic spices, violets, leather, and assorted black fruits
titillate the nose while pointing to a full-bodied, plush, layered
wine that manages to stay light on its feet despite its size. |

CLOS DE LOS SIETE
RP -
There may be no
finer red wine value in Argentina than this superb blend of 48%
Malbec, 28% Merlot, 12% Syrah, and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is
aged for 11 months, two-thirds in 100% new French oak and the balance in
vat and bottled without fining or filtration. Opaque purple-coloured, the
wine coats the glass while offering up a superb bouquet of toasty oak,
violets, mineral, black currant, blueberry, and black cherry. This is
followed by a layered wine with gobs of ripe fruit, a plush texture,
outstanding balance, and several years of aging potential. |

steaks and
barbecues. |

CONCHA y TORO
An excellent Chilean
estate:
Viña Concha y Toro was founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro
and his wife Doña Emiliana Subercaseaux. They planted their first
vineyard of Bordeaux varieties in the Maipo Valley, attracted by the
region’s advantageous position between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. |
|
|
Don Melchor is the flagship
wine of Concha y Toro, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon cuvee that was started
in 1987, making it Chile’s senior icon. |

'TERRUNYO'
CARMENERE
Concha y Toro
RP-
When Carmenere is bad, it’s
very, very bad. But when it’s good? it’s sublime as Terrunyo, a winery
under the Concha y Toro umbrella, has demonstrated on several occasions.
The 2005 Carmenere is opaque purple in colour with a kinky perfume of
smoky oak, violets, spice box, blueberry preserves, and blackberry
liqueur. This leads to a silky textured wine with remarkable
richness, concentration, and depth. This opulent effort conceals
enough structure to evolve for 3-5 years but can be enjoyed now as well
as over the next 10-15 years. |

VIÑA SENA
RP/Jay
Miller -
Sena is one of Chile’s icon wines
and deservedly so.
Viña Sena was originally a partnership between Eduardo Chadwick and
Robert Mondavi but since the demise of the Mondavi empire, Sena has been
going it alone. The fruit is entirely sourced from the Sena Hillside
Vineyard which is biodynamically farmed. |

Suckling - Complex
aromas
of blueberry, rose petal, liquorice, and currant. Full body, ultra fine
tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Balanced and very refined. A
wonderful purity and beauty. Give it three to four years to come
together but already a beauty. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16%
Carmenere, 11% Malbec, 8% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.
