Concha Y Toro Cab/Sauv Puente Alto Marqués de Casa Concha 2005

Wine Spectator ReviewRated 91 SMART BUYLush but structured, delivering layers of black currant, tobacco, loam and dark licorice pushed by ripe, solid structure, with a long, dark finish. Always rock-solid. Drink now through 2011.Wine Tasting NotesDeep red. Intense cherry, chocolate, black tar and smoked notes. The oak still cloaks its aromas, but in time all the fruit should develop greater complexity. A smooth, almost silky texture masks the firm tannic structure beneath, which only comes to the fore when the long finish begins to unravel.

Has an ample layer of sweet, mocha-infused toast, but plenty of plum and blackberry notes as well. The long, fleshy finish lets the fruit and mineral notes hang together nicely, with an encore of toast. Drink now through 2009. 55,200 cases made. &#82... Wine Spectator.

Color: Dark and deep red. Bouquet: Flavors as black as night: dark cherries, dark berries and a lasting smoky, yet rich, black tar. Taste: Complexity develops out of its firm, quiet, supple core. The wine marries well with a variety of steaks, roasts, pastas with medium to hearty sauces, and cheeses.
