Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

Smoky black cherry aroma. Taste is also cherry like, a bit spicy. However, cherry like flavor disappeared second day and aroma became calm still with smoky and oaky and black currant flavor could be felt instead of cherry. It should be better than first day. If US$12-13, it would be a good choice. @750, 5st, 170407

Apr 7th, 2017Deep red, surprisingly clear for a cab. A little clear at the meniscus, and super leggy. Strong clean oak on the nose; blackcurrant, and a smoky spicy note I can best describe as coffee+green pepper. Slippy smooth on the palate, marvelous juicy acid, and clear, reserved tannins. The palate is rich astringent red fruit: cranberries and some red cherry. As the finish blooms, a whiff of bell pepper gives way to smoky savory coffee, lingering cranberry tartness, and a pleasant hint of oaky vanilla. Smoothness, delectable acidity, and oaky depth: I'd take this $13 bottle over a lot of cabs twice the cost!

Very tannic and leggy. So thick, it was having trouble getting out of the aerator! Chocolate and leather notes. Had a familiar, rustic smell. The verdict?... eh.

Not a bad wine, but not velvety at all. Nice and dry but kind of sharp.
