2005 Cono Sur CABERNET SAUVIGNON "Vision" (Maipo Valley, Chile)
Saturated blood-like ruby color. Spicy nose of cassis, smoke, and menthol. Rich flavors of dark cassis liqueur, cigarette ashes, and chalky earth. Fairly good concentration, with some firm tannin showing through a bit, suggesting that this wine could age and soften a few years. Good value. 87. Was $10.75 at Spec's on Smith.

Again, spot on review. This opens up quite a bit with an hour of breathing and the acidity tapers off. A great deal for the price.
