Some facts about this lovely vino:1) It comes from the Maipo valley in Chile.
2) It is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cot.
3) Cot is also called Merlot. I had to look that up on Wikipedia.
4) This is actually a picture of the same wine taken from google images. My wallpaper is much less rubbish.
5) Drinking it is more interesting than reading these facts.
Oh yes and the drinking. Well. It's bloody marvellous! Mostly it is smooth, blackcurranty, juicy and very very cotty. Plenty of intensity and great balance. Complex for a 2009 and further maturity could only make it better. Drinks well on it's own. Probably drinks well with food. So, overall, there's pretty much nothing bad to say about this wine. And the catch? £20 a bottle. Which makes you wonder: how much of my £20 pays for the cot?
