Casa Silva Los Lingues Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Inky ruby. Pungent, smoke-accented aromas of candied cherry, cassis and licorice, with subtle black pepper and rose notes in the background. Juicy and precise, showing good tangy lift to its bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors. Finishes clean and bright, with spicy cut and dusty, harmonious tannins. Score - 90.
