Los Vascos Cab

[Innkeeper]

2001 Los Vasco, Reserve, Colchagua, Chile ($16 Blue Hill Wine Shop). Another bottle with the Domaine Barons De Rothschild (Lafite) name on it. Alcohol 13.5%. The bottle does not say if this is all Cab or a Bordeaux blend. The internet seems to think it only comes in a pure Cab version.

It has deep purple color with fruity aromas on the nose. It gives you soft cassis up front, nice complexity on the palate with powerful well structured tannins and a persistently long finish. Much better than the regualar '00 Cab, as it should be for the extra ten spot. Mathced it with sliced grillpanned boneless sirloin with nice EVOO and Morton Rub, dinner rolls, and salad in vinaigrette. Way to go on a Saturday night.
