Country: Chile / Central Valley
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Miguel Torres / Manso de Velasco Viejas Viñas Old Vines
A bit mulchy and swampy for Manso, with earthy tobacco and generic berry fruit aromas. The palate is flush and a little heavy, with creamy flavors of vanilla, dill weed and cassis. Soft and sweet late, with chunkiness and a medium to basic structure. A very good wine but not great as in past years.
