Tasting notes
The 2012 Grande Reserve is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Carménère, 10% Syrah and 5% Malbec that matured for one year before bottling. The nose is clean, a melange of fruits and spices, quite commercial. The palate is soft and juicy with unnoticeable tannins. One million bottles produced.

Brilliant ruby. Lively cherry and redcurrant scents are complicated by suggestions of fresh tobacco, cedar and dried flowers. Juicy and precise on the palate, offering bitter cherry and licorice flavors and an insinuating herbal nuance. Shows good clarity and lift on the gently tannic finish, with the floral and cherry notes echoing.
75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 10% Malbec, 5% other varieties. Pungent nose with a hint of cow byres but no shortage of lusciously fully ripe fruit. No rough edges. Well worked. Lots of pleasure here. Already. According to winesearcher.com prices and wide distribution, this is VGV . (JR)
