Morandé 2002 Reserve Terrarum Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile / Reserve Terrarum
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Maipo Valley
Winery: Morandé /

The nose is slightly creamy due to overt oak, and it’s also somewhat disjointed, what with both bold berry fruit and a strong whiff of wet dog. In the mouth, things quickly turn grapey, and then that overt fruitiness morphs into cherry and espresso. Meanwhile, bursting acidity throughout keeps it lively and fresh. Best Buy.
