WTN: Vina Chocalan Syrah Reserve 2004

Maipo Valley.

Very dark purple, almost black, in the glass.

Chocolate and loads of spices on the nose.

Firm structure, black cherry, milk chocolate and sort of a malted milk flavour, floral, rich, slightly sweet, with a bit of a bite toward the end. The wine became a bit firmer with time.

A long, spicy finish.

I think the wine will benefit from some short-term aging.

Purchased at $14.95 (Canadian).

I checked out here Bruce and we have the Chocalan Syrah Selection. Very limited accessibility, only 4 stores carry it.
