Black cherry hue with aromas of blackberry and a hint of bacon, and a floral note on the end.
Palate--Fairly robust presentation on first impression, with a savory nuance with bold blackberry fruit.
This is an easy drinking red wine that is well made and delicious and while I would prefer they had not put "semi-sweet" on the label I suspect I know why they did it. Many people over the years are quick to tell me they do not like red wine. "They are too..." --fill in the blank--! But this red wine is just so well made that it doesn't have all the "off-putting" nuances that cause many to think they do not care for red wine.
Bottom line? Raise a glass!
Concha Y Toro is a Chilean wine producer who has made a consistent and impressive impression on the world of wine! My wine journey began about 1980 and Casillero del Diablo was an economical wine value for a struggling young family with 3 children and not long out of the Army. I would not be able to enumerate how many bottles of their wine I have has over the decades.
As I became stronger financially I imbibed on a few bottles of Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon. Back in the day, I would pick up this splendid production for around $45 on release. Now...Let's just say I haven't had such a bottle in over 2 decades. Pretty much sells for around $150 on up!
