WTN: Vina Tarapaca Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Maipo Valley.

Decanted about 45 minutes before supper.

Very dark purple in the glass.

Rather muted nose at first. With time, spicy, black licorice, smoky, black cherries.

Heavily charred, tarry, roasted meat, tangy, black cherry, smoky, moderate weight, tart and drying toward the end.

Have enjoyed a number of wines from this producer and have always found they offer good value for money.

Purchased at $14.95 (Canadian).
