| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
KAIKEN |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, slightly spicy, high acid, firm, plum-blueberry nose with some cedary, mocha-chocolate notes. Fairly dry, medium-full bodied, dense, well structured, slightly spicy, tangy, baked black cherry-blueberry-plum flavours with a lingering, cedary, high acid, somewhat peppery, fairly resiny finish. Tasted once - needs time to evolve. Has 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L17033 on the back label. The much more approachable recommended best buy 2014 (**+) with 89-points was released on November 12, 2016 at $19.95. |

| Aurelio Montes is an icon of Chilean winemaking - wait what, this is an Argentine wine? Yes. Montes became enamored of the super terroir-driven wines of Argentina and created Kaiken to bring about a powerful marriage of Argentine sites and Chilean winemaking expertise, reflecting the best of both sides of the Andes. 'Las Rocas' are the rounded stones found in the vineyard. You can expect this wine to deliver impressive and intense dark fruit, smoke and forest tones with underlying cocoa. Enjoy it tonight, decanted for 30 minutes, with your favourite steak, or cellar and follow its development for 8-10+ years. |
