Just took this wine over to a friends house for a Friday night wine party. Its just a nice cheap old cabernet from my favorite cabernet region, Chile. As we’ve said before, 2005 was a great year for Chile and their grapes. This wine holds up well to the reputation.
There wasn’t a hole lot going on with this wine. When we first opened it up it was very closed and need some time to open up. Once it breathed for a while I picked up some very nice aromas of red fruit. On the taste I mostly picked up blackberry and strawberry which followed through on the finish. This was a pretty good wine for the price. It was well balanced with good fruit. Screw top.
