Concha y Toro 2005 Marqués de Casa Concha Cabernet Sauvignon
From Puente Alto, a new appellation within Maipo Valley, this vintage is not quite as good as the stellar 2004. Complex, slightly funky, meaty nose, plus cassis, blackberry, leather, mineral and fresh herbs. Medium-full bodied, fairly dense and firm, with ripe fruit, cream and earth on the finish. Very good length. Best 2009 to 2012. Vintages Essential.
