Concha Y Toro Sauvignon Blanc Casillero del Diablo Late Harvest

Great berry and depth. Good now and still for at least 5 yrs.

2011 vintage

Absolutely sublime, paired with a rib eye and tomahawk steak. In a perfect window right now, everything nicely balanced.

2011 vintage

Wow! Opened 4 hours ahead of dinner and glad I did. Immediate notes of leather, tobacco, earthy spices and after a glass, definite green pepper. Beautifully balanced but probably at its peak. Absolutely delicious!

2011 vintage

Fantastic!!! Paired so well with a filet mignon!

Decanted about 2 hours and then drank over another hour with a steak dinner. Nose was a bit oakey with some spice and red fruit. On the palate it was a bit over-oaked without food, the food allowed the red berry to show up a lot more. Decent wine, better with food. Not really worth the price paid.

Opened for two hours to slow ox then took to a local BYOB where they decanted it for us. Dark fruit on the nose the palate was dark berries, cassis, tobacco, wood and some spice. A moderate to long finish made it a most enjoyable wine.

2011 vintage

Did not live up to my somewhat unrealistic expectations - wonderful cabernet fruit, fully integrated tannins and a pleasant finish. Lacked the "WOW" factor - hard to justify at current prices.

2011 vintage

For me, it was slightly over the hill. Ripe vegetable notes and herbs in the foreground, it shows some over-ripeness and I think, that it's past it's prime because of the minestrone-aromas on the palate. Drink!

Brian's party at TRATA. My first bottle of this, and it was quite enjoyable. Nice midweight cab with some herbal secondaries. I thought it was still a bit young and would be better in a few years. So pushing back my drinking window a bit.

Surprisingly fresh, even young. Definitely a New World Cab. I might have guessed Washington State blind.

2011 vintage

PnP. Dark red, red tinged, 6. Clean blackcurrant dominated fruity aroma. Harmonious palate, m+T, mB, m-A, good grip with some tannin to balance the fruity blackcurrant note, fruity finish. Drink now-2030. Fine Cab S but lacking complexity

2011 vintage

Similar to the bottle I had a few months back. Served with our Valentines Day dinner of roasted rack of lambs in a mustard rosemary crust. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was dark berries, cassis, tobacco, wood and some spice. A moderate to long finish made it an enjoyable wine.

Decanted 2 hours. Repoured in bottles. Slow ox 1 hour.

2011 vintage

Superb - a big wine with lovely depth of dark fruit and well integrated tannins

2011 vintage

At the apex??

2011 vintage

Cassis, fruit driven, liquorice, spices, tobacco, hints of oak on the nose. On the palate good acidity, grip, spicy, generous with good concentration, good length. Drink or keep. 91-93

2011 vintage

Better than a 2005 Don Melchor which we drank side bu side

2011 vintage

In a great drinking window right now

2011 vintage

Day one, not pleasant. Day two much better with dark red, typical of Cabernet Sauvignon, this by now 10 years old bottle is full of black berries, just a little bitter at finishing.

2011 vintage

Decanted one hour Beautiful restrained aromas ofblackberries and earth Smooth on palate, tannins integrated, very clean fruit and smoke. Long and silky, a delight

2011 vintage

Beautiful, smooth, structured with excellent black fruit notes

2011 vintage

Deeply hued ruby with a tawny tinge with medium plus optical density and low reflectivity. Aromas are strong, with plum, blueberry, crushed leaves, earthy onion skins, and wet gravel. Lots of complexity, with olives, spices, sweet tobacco, and purple fruit looming. Tons of evolution and elegance on the nose. On the palate, rich and full bodied with medium minus acidity and resolved tannins. This leaves a texture that is concentrated and dense without being too much. Flavours of mixed blue …

2011 vintage

PnP. Dark red, red/yellow tinged, 6. Generous bouquet of blackcurrant, herbaceous, cool, Harmonious palate, mA, m+T, rather mellow, ripe dark fruit, slight sweetness in finish. Drink now-2028. Ok overseas CabS but hampered by the sweetish finish.

2011 vintage

Good Cab. Drank in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

2011 vintage

Juicy and delicious.

2011 vintage

- Ruby color with medium forming legs and aromas of blackberry. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry and black pepper with a medium body. Polished texture with a medium finish.

2011 vintage

I thought this was really nice for the price. Dark and a little toasty - good fruit (dark plums, and blackberries) - Nice tannin structure. For $13, sign me up. 89-90

2011 vintage

This is a well-priced sauvignon blanc with some personality, which isn't the easiest category of wines. Lots of lime and lemon on the nose, hints of grass. Very fruit-forward on the palate, and not nearly as weed-like and herbal as a lot of Chilean sauvignon blancs. Fresh acid provides solid backbone. Overall, a fun party wine.

2011 vintage

I thought this vintage was considerably more fresh fruit forward than what I remember this wine from previous vintages. My first taste made me ask where it came from. There still is a touch of that Chilean, steely, flinty, earth, but with lots more openly inviting fruit. The fruit is so fresh, it gives the impression of sweetness, but I'm sure it is totally dry. There is also a small taste of "green garden" that we find so appealing from …

2011 vintage

Great SB from Chile...not unlike my experience with Errazurzi SB...great example, fairly standard, but in a way that is good match with summer time fun out on the deck! Great price.

2011 vintage

Nice when chilled. Please open it an hour before tasting, which open the taste to more creamy taste.

2011 vintage

Nothing special. Tart, grass, weeds. A decent everyday Sauvignon Blanc.

2011 vintage

A value for money wine. Pale lemon-green with an aromatic nose offering typical cool fermented aromas of ripe stone fruit along reen/vegetal elements. Chalky on palate with crispy acidity, medium body and satisfying length. Very well made with nice fruit expression destined for immediate drinking.

2011 vintage

Pale green with a bright mango and grapefruit filled nose. Packed with almost sweet tropical fruits, a little too ripe and lacking the freshness to cut through.

2011 vintage
