A very smooth and polished wine, with good color and acidity, but lacking in clarity of flavors, resulting in a wine has only a subdued and generic red berry taste. Expresses nothing of the distinctive black currant and blackberry core that quality Cabernet Sauvignon wines feature, and is neither savory nor delicious. Nor is there any sign of flaws or taints - perfect cork, no bitterness, not sour, no off odors or colors.

Nice bottle of wine. Colour is a dark ruby, almost inky red. On the nose I get cassis, earth, some mint, and a faint dark chocolate. Flavours are mint and cassis on the inital taste and mid palate. Tannins are drying in the mouth. Decent finish. Held up well into day 2. I would definitely buy this again.

Boa amostra de Cabernet, bem típica do país.Aromas de cassis, café, eucalipto e tostado. Na boca taninos numerosos, firmes e excelente equilibrio entre acidez e fruta. Potêncial de guarda. Excelente.

Nice, but Marques de Casa Concha 2003 is superiour to it.
