Koyle 2013 Royale Los Lingues Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Colchagua Valley
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Koyle / Royale Los Lingues Vineyard

Spicy aromas of balsam wood, tobacco and sawmill work well with ripe but reserved red-berry scents. Tight, tannic but also fresh as opposed to drying, this Cabernet from a cool year delivers a classic set of herbal berry, plum and wood spice flavors. A ripped finish is dry and oaky now, with core fruit resting for the future. Drink 2018–2028.
