  (blind tasting)
  at Shakuf concept restaurant
  at first light red-brown color, cloudy. Seems oxidized.
  leather earthy secondary aromas
  very tannic in a way that makes you wonder whether it's a Nebbiolo or Temranillo. As it opens in the glass, clear presence of Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz appear as well. Full body, dense, ripe fruits, enjoyable with food.

  Well blended with a beautifully long lasting aftertaste -- smooth and interesting with moderate tannins and low acidity. We really enjoyed this one and compare it favorably with other blends. The aftertaste is a small bit of fruit (blackberry perhaps) with an anise spice. The initial taste is more of a fennel or nutty flavor. At times we thought of quince, sour cherry, or other bits of fruit overtones. On other tastes there seemed a slightly, very pleasant herbal bitterness that was like a sour lemon or sour cherry. The initial taste was sometimes almost sneaky, dominating mineral water-like, followed by the aftertaste. This did shift with further time out, so this one does clearly benefit from waiting after corking. The blend is Cabernet, Carmenere, Syrah and Petit Verdout. This is 14% alcohol and from Chile. We purchased this as part of a mixed case, so 15% off (23.79). Paired very well with a cheese and bread initial course. The color is a purply red with a moderate to light nose.

  WOW, cet assemblage de cabernet sauvignon, de carmenère, de petit verdot et de cabernet franc donne un vin remarquable. Décanté en carafe pendant plus de 2 h, le vin s'avère très soyeux avec des notes de petits fruits sur un fond de tabac. Goûté avec une grillade de contre-filet, des pommes de terre au beurre et un salade de tomates et de champignons, puis avec un Caprice des dieux, l'expérience, fut remarquable. J'ai déjà hâte de retrouver cette dame esseulée. Quoique moins ardente, elle n'en demeure pas moins agréable. Le sideral d'Altaïr offre néanmoins un meilleur rapport qualité-prix.

  Good deep consistent color. Great nose, especially after 1.5 of decanting. Nice flavor with mild tannins and good balance. Should age for a few more years at least.
