Concha Y Toro Casillero del Diablo Reserva Privada

Vinho surpreendente pelo fato de ter sido adquirido por menos de R$70,00 no Brasil. Está pronto para o consumo.

2006 vintage

See previous notes. Popped and poured. Nice easy drinker, lots of muddled fruit, some smoke. Lots of sediment in this bottle.

2006 vintage

Easy drinker, lots of fruit and pleasant smokiness.

2006 vintage

The Carmenere grape had long been believed to be extinct, until it was rediscovered about two decades ago in ChilenAnd this Dark, full-bodied red, from the basic-mid level line of Concha y Toro, is a good representation of itnNice strong tannins balanced by a complex dry but smokey, chocolatey taste.nYou find notes of dark berry, green pepper and jalepeno as well as coffee and blackcherry, some plum and, of course, vanilla from the small oaks.

2006 vintage

Vinho encorpado, paladar suave. Combinação perfeita com arroz de pato.

2006 vintage

Lots of dark fruit with not much of a beck bone mineral to make it food friendly. Overall delicious wine for drinking on its own. Well balanced but not much of a length.

2006 vintage

Tasted last of the '06 - and like the last note - heavy hitter - full bodied i would say, inky black in glass and on palate. Nice transition on finish from dark fruit to some light menthol/oak. Some heat in there still.

2006 vintage

Drinking fine right now, and would suggest this is consumed withing the next year...Nose is deep and rich with berry fruit and some vanilla wood. Palate is medium + bodied and has smooth tannin and light acid. Lots of fruit and a finish that lingers with a little vanilla oak again, but all balanced. Was great price back in day @ 17%. Likely can't buy the "06 anymore...will check out the more recent vintages.

2006 vintage

Nice, good intensity, can definitely sense the Syrah coming though on this with note of blueberry, apricot, and other dried fruits, also tar and some must.

2006 vintage

Good body but a bit unripe and tad unbalanced. Good wine for the money though.

2006 vintage

Nose-dark cherry, cedar, Palate-sweet plum, forest floor, oak, bright fruits, sweet

2006 vintage

For less than $10 this is stupid good. Nice and smooth. Not a first growth, but who cares?

2006 vintage

This was a magnificent wine for the price. It was a little strong on tannins the first day, but smoothed right out on day two. The nose was immediately fruity with hints of berry. Great finish.

2006 vintage

VG . 92. Drank at Fiore's 10/29/10

2006 vintage

Gęste i pełne. Usta goszkie, pieprzxowy, cieliste - mocno alkoholowe, ale wino fajne też do jedzenia.

2006 vintage

Dark garnet red with bright purple hues, nose of black cherry, dark chocolate with hints of capsicum & spice. Smooth & approachable on palate, Dark chocolate, plum and black cherry with hints of oak, with balance of acidity, medium bodied, sweet & soft tannins and rather short finishing. Nice wine to enjoy with lots of fruit flavour.

2006 vintage

A nice ruby-red wine with red and black fruit overtones. A well structured texture, though more of a "fruit bomb" than most Cabernets, perhaps because of the blend with Syrah grapes. Very enjoyable. A good quaffing wine.

2006 vintage

Wow, this is really great stuff. Nice dark color, enticing dark fruits and cedar on the nose. One word initially comes to mind on the palate--Balance. Really great black and red fruit with supporting tannins, some vanilla cedary oak on the finish which is perfectly balanced with the fruit. 2 questions: How am I going to keep from finishing the whole bottle tonight, and do I have anymore? 90. 2/10/10

2006 vintage

Even better after a year in the cellar. Balanced, some leather, less jammy fruit up front. Definitely a very good value wine. Very good QPR.

2006 vintage

Bold, sexy, not bitter. Does not hide what it can do. Very enjoyable, went well with our stuffed turkey breast dinner.

2006 vintage

Popped and poured, smells of cherries and oak and the slightest hint of pipe tobacco. first tastes were of the same, but very very tannin forward. The strength of them were a bit off putting in fact. But after a day of decanting, the tannins mellowed perfectly, just the slightest bite, with a full flavor, perfect for accompanying hearty meals. On the first day I would have rated it a 84. I heartily recommend decanting it.

2006 vintage

Solid, robust cabernet. Pretty darn good considering the price.

2006 vintage

No nose. First experience with the grape. Very rustic and S. American. Love it with meat. Bright acids. Soft tannins. Earthy taste. Goodness.

2006 vintage

peper, zwart fruit, geroosterd, zachte tanines, wat zoetheid in afdronk zeer lekker voor deze prijs, maar mist misschien wat karakter deze zou is blind vergeleken moeten worden tussen wijnen uit een iets duurdere prijsklasse

2006 vintage

Very balanced, well crafted wine. Meaty, herbal flavors, with black fruits and pepper. Can't ask for more at this price point.

2006 vintage

we had to compromise on this one. I thought it was a little harsh but drinkable, my roomates loved it . .

2006 vintage

Exactly the same impression as when tasted 7 months ago. Please refer to my previous note.

2006 vintage

Deep dark dense purple red. On the nose, plenty of manure comes to mind right away, mixed with ripe red strawberries, and a little heat at the end (alcohol). Very red from the beginning, decisive notes of wild cherries, currant, evolving into some cassis and decisive cocoa finish. Medium length.

2006 vintage

Big wine. Lots of power, lots of fruit and lots of oak - too much for my liking. It tastes delicious but it's thick and powerful and goopy and I was trying to enjoy my meal. I prefer the normal varietal bottlings to this. Some people love this style though, so for them, at £6, this should be a good buy. EDIT: The next day, the oak has calmed down, some lovely creamy tobacco has come in. Score modified from …

2006 vintage

Similar notes to past bottles, a bit heavier on the tannins, which could be attributed to popping and pouring right out of the bottle instead of decanting first.

2006 vintage

A surprisingly complex wine at its age and price! Intense tannins but not on heat side, with potential to evolve. Amazing how Chile is able to produce elegant and complex wines at <$15 market price. Easily a wine of this quality could sell for >= $25 if it were a Napa one.

2006 vintage

Ruby, dark purple in the glass. Nose of chocolate-covered blueberries. Smells heady, opulent. Initial tasting gives the impression of velvet fruit. Finish is not long, but the palate is layered with spice and coffee. Tastes of chocolate and black berries. Very nice wine at this price.

2006 vintage

Opened and decanted for a an hour. Nice ruby red in color. Very fruity on the nose, hints of berries, cherry, and cassis. On the palate you are immediately hit with a barnyard sensation. Hints of cherries, mocha, chocolate and currants. Medium level of acidity and tannins, well balanced. The finish was medium and the texture was chewy. This was one awesome bottle of wine, I really enjoyed the earthiness of this wine. Great QPR, may even buy a case, …

2006 vintage

Nice complex wine for the price. Dark berries cocoa and some toasty spice with a great finish.

2006 vintage

If you can find this buy it. It was great, one of the best QPR's I've had lately! complex, well balanced, nice tannins that are available throughout the flavor profile, but add to the flavor rather than dominate. Wish I had more.

2006 vintage

If I didn't know how inexpensive ($10.99 retail) this one, I would peg it as something near twice as expensive. Excellent QPR; I'm curious to try the 2007. Medium body, nice fruit: a really perfect quaffing wine, and the price-point makes it all that much more of a treat.

2006 vintage

Always reliable. As others have noted, some spice, a little burnt leather (whatever). This wine invariably improves with a little "air time". A simply excellent QPR.

2006 vintage

This is a nice, simple Carmenere, not outstanding. The "barnyard" character that I associate with Carmeneres is more muted in this one than is usual. This is not necessarily a bad thing--most Carmeneres, I'd be hesitant to bring to a party--not everyone likes the must and earth in their wines--this one is more of an "every man's" Carmenere. There is a bit of alcohol heat on the nose, but not so much on the palate, thankfully. And the extremely ripe …

2006 vintage

Our last bottle must have just been off because we liked this quite a bit this time. It's a very interesting wine. The nose had a sort of cheese pizza meets sweet potato thing with some chocolate, to use GaryV-esque descriptors. Smooth and fairly complete in the mouth with a decent finish. Very good.

2006 vintage

Similar notes to before. Not quite as good--maybe because it was popped and poured.

2006 vintage

First of all I love Carmenere. Dark dark garnet color, almost dark purple. Lovely nose with spice. Hints of tobacco and really dark cherries. Medium mouthfeel. Good acidity on the front and middle. Flavors of dark coffee, cranberries, dark cherries, burnt dirt and tobacco. Decent finish dominated by dark cherries and tobacco. Excellent reasonably priced Carmenere. Enjoyed with my friends and they were impressed.

2006 vintage

Musty mushroom aromas. Dark, dark fruit with a slightly spicy peppery tar palate more towards the finish. Excellent. Fantastic value.

2006 vintage

Stong black pepper nose with suttle rubber notes. More pepper (green and black) on the palate. Currants as well. Short finish turns a little flat. Solid.

2006 vintage

This is a fine qpr but this time it was a little too jammy, like an overdone/cheap shiraz perhaps. Remembered that I liked it better last time but it's not bad. The alcohol jumped out a bit both times we've had this.

2006 vintage

Some cinnamon on day 3. Nice, pleasurable, complex wine. 89.5

2006 vintage

This makes for an enjoyable DD, If you can get past the sweetness. It is a very simple taste, no complexity. Has a wonderful aroma of ripe berries I didn't find the coffee that the label boast about. I would drink again due to the cheap price, but keep in mind You Get What You Pay for . Don't expect a wine that will blow your mind. Keep this bottle reserved for a night you want to sip and don't …

2006 vintage

Still very, very good with consistent notes from previous bottles. Long. Was even better day 2 and a little cooler than room temperature.

2006 vintage

Fantastic wine! And that is not even considering the low cost. Spicy taste. Peppery. Very good.

2006 vintage

Nice dark color. Nose of dark chocolate and tobacco. Very smooth taste of black fruit. Not the most complex wine, but easy drinking and good qpr.
