90+? Great $15 bargain. Fruit bomb! Concentrated with black fruits, blue berry, dark chololate liqueur. Spicy long finish. Give it couple of years to soften the tannins or open it an hour before serving. Buy 4-6 bottles.

A very nice, medium-bodied cabernet sauvignon from Chile, spicy and fruity, with tastes of berries. I really like this one. Great value at $15. I am going to buy a case of it, drink some and cellar some. This is a lovely cabernet sauvignon that goes well with cheese and BBQ.

A fruit bomb really. I found it a little too sickly and couldnt finish it. Little bit OTT. Maybe cellaring will give it chance to develope some intrest.

Generous nose of black currant, leather, cigar, and dark chocolate. This wine has only a hint of greeness that one usually experiences with Cab Sauv. Flavours of currant, black fruits, cocoa and oak spice Good length. What value! Mar 2011.
