  Taste: rather much vanilla, also rather good fruit, with spices. After having drunk also the merlot of this series and of the same year within the last two weeks, I conclude, that these wines lean to heavily on the vanilla. I am not sure whether this is an effect of the aging of these wines or of the development in my own taste. 83.

  Reminds me of Aussie shiraz when American oak was more heavily used - this has a lot of oak influence but decent fruit to go with it.

  This Casillero del Diablo Concha y Toro line usually has very good wines considering price and distribution. This Shiraz continues this tradition, however with some caveats.
  I like my Shiraz big. This Shiraz is, however, quite medium bodied, however varietally correct. Nice nose of black fruits, perhaps with some coffee thrown in after a while. There is, however, some alcohol on the nose.
  Taste-wise, very much similar to the nose. Good tannins for a rather young wine. Fruit is slightly tart and bitter. My big problem here is that I find it too thin, specially compared to South Africa and Australia.

  Taste: fruit, chocolate, spices and tannin, nicely smooth and very harmoniously going together in an agreeable complexity and with a rather long finish. The taste stayed for a couple of hours in my mind. Drink now. Good QPR with 4,50 Euro! 85.
