Cromas Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva - Viña Los VascosIn the glass, the Cromas Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva from Viña Los Vascos displays a dense purple color. Poured into a Bordeaux glass, this red wine from Chile offers wonderfully complex aromas of blackberry, morello cherry, plum and black cherry, rounded out by oak, gingerbread spice and cigar box. This Chilean wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 2.2 grams of residual sugar. As expected from a wine of this reputation, this Chilean naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Taste does not necessarily need sugar. This dense and silky red wine presents itself on the palate full of pressure and complexity. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, the Cromas Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva flatters with velvety palate feeling, without lacking freshness at the same time. On the finish, this youthful red from the Valle Central wine-growing region finally delights with considerable length. There are again hints of mulberry and blackberry. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by volcanic rock and sand are added.
