Very dark in the glass - almost black. On the nose, blackberry and raspberry jam, hint of cedar, maybe some mintiness but really dominated by the berries. Not very complex. Moderate tannins. Long on the palate. Pairs well with dark chocolate. Pretty solid for the price.

2018 Santa Carolina Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva (Chile) Intriguing aroma of black currant and violets with just a whiff of wet well walked dog. Thick blackberry and currant flavours with a pinch of red bell pepper, oregano and vanilla. Tannins are a bit unpolished but not intrusive. A medium weight, well balanced wine with impressive length. This “bargain in a bottle” is definitely a Cheap Bastard Penny Pincher Epicurean Enological Empyrean award winner. Nice artwork on the label too.

And OK Cabernet. Nothing great here but certainly drinkable.
