Sol De Chile - Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 (Estate Bottled)
Well, we tried two bottles of this wine to be sure, but despite the following tasting notes from the wine maker:
Our Cabernet Sauvignon has a rich and concentrated ruby-violet color. It has aromas typical of its variety and added hints of chocolate and coffee. Its tannins are mature and firm.
My experience was much different. The wine seemed very immature. I was overwhelmed by the tannins and never found either the coffee or the chocolate. The nose was very hard but it did linger.
Not being a fan of this wine I cannot recommend it for anything even though it seems to be a reasonably priced wine.
Recommendation: Must miss. Not suitable for use as even a gift to someone you do not like.
