Wine Entry : Andes Collection D.O Itata Valley Merlot 2004 (Chilean)

-

This bottle was part of the Crabtree and Evelyn hamper that SIA sent me. I am not very fond of Chilean wines, but this wine was a pleasant surprise. It was of a clear purplish violet colour in the glass.
Smell : Warm fragrant plum, berries, lifted by substantial alcohol with a touch of rose.

Taste : Easy drinking, light, smooth filled with summer fruits of berries, cherries. Temptingly invites you for a second sip.

After-taste : Oak barrel vanilla tastes with a light-medium finish of mild/ non-existant tannins.
