Brazil

[brappy]

Alright, I'm finally getting around to tasting a couple of these wines from Brazil. Both are made by Miolo, both '05. One is Merlot, the other is Cabernet Sauvignon.

Cab: Nose of stewed tart red fruits. The palate doesn't quite have the stewed fruit so obvious on the nose. There is also a streak of blue fruit. It's barely noticeable but still there. Needs more time.... Not very good....

Merlot: Much better nose than the Cab. Some red fruits and some dark fruits. Touch of green and some wood. On the palate, decent fruit. The wine is showing varietal correctness. Nice. Soft. Pleasant.... We'll see what happens with time....
