Requinoa Vineyard, Rapel Valley
Decanted and lightly chilled prior to serving.
Black in the glass.
A very rich nose, chocolate, black cherry, some heat.
Thick and weighty in the mouth, black cherry, raspberry, chocolate, quite rich, good acidity, a little edgy with a bite and a bitter streak. Unfortunately, the 14.5 per cent alcohol does make its presence felt.
Moderate tannins on the finish.
Purchased at $33.95 (Canadian).
