This is a Cab from South Africa producer Golden Kaan. We haven’t done a lot from this region of the World, so we thought we’d give this one a shot. It would be really interesting to cellar this one for a few years. |

- Strong cherry aromas with a hint of pine.
- Flavors of oak and smoke with the pine coming in at the end.
- The label says that the tannins linger – and they really mean it!
- Decant this bottle for as long as you can!
- Like the person who you think is really cool when you first meet them… but not so much when you get to know then… They are only tolerable with many other people around.

Casillero del Diablo Concha Y Toro is a Cabernet from Chile. This is a companion reivew to the 2007 vintage that we also did. We recommend avoiding the 2007 for 1 or two more years. We had this with steak from the charcoal grill and it was a great pairing. |

- Fruit forward strawberry aromas.
- Earth and vanilla smells.
- At the right temperature, this wine is smooth and had velvety mouth feel that is even better after decanting.
- Great mix of fruit and earth.
- Slight peach taste at the end with flavors of apples on the tip of the tongue.
- She is spunky yet refined and able to strike the perfect balance between adolescent charm and lady like maturity. She is an example that hopefully her younger sister will follow.

Casillero del Diablo Concha Y Toro is a Cabernet from Chile. We would really like to try this same bottle again after a year or two of aging. This is a companion review to the 2006 vintage of the same wine. We recommend the 2006 for right now. |

- Fruitier aroma than the 2006.
- Aroma of leafy greens with a bit of fruit.
- Abrasive harsh bite in the taste.
- Too harsh and minerally. The harshness diminishes any positives and overpowers everything else.
- Not quite as refined as her older sister. This wine seems to be stuck in the terrible twos. Maybe with some aging and maturity she will develop and fulfill the promise of her older sibling
