Casillero del Diablo (Chile, 2007)

Category: Cabernet Sauvignon — Mike @ 12:18 pm

	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.
	$9 from Fresh & Easy

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
