Matetic Coralillo Syrah 09 Chile
Oddbins £16.99. B+(+)
Fragrant, expressive Syrah on the nose, dark fruits, quite brooding. Palate is full, textured, thick, offering good depth and intensity. The dark fruits and a touch of mint shows too; nice acid keeps it fresh, otherwise would be rather cumbersome. Good presence overall, shows well.
Kimbao Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenere 08 Chile
Naked Wines £8.99. B+
Rather green and leafy on the nose; maybe some woody notes and burnt tar, charred. Palate is surprisingly soft and approachable, mostly dark red fruit showing through; smooth, not tannic, slips through. Perhaps a simple wine, but still gives pleasure. Less clunky than when I had this last year.
