Not so Chile!

If you're looking for something to warm you up on those cold winter nights I have a great suggestion from Chile.
On Saturday I opened the 2004 Undurraga, Founders Collection Cabernet Sauvignon that I haven't had for about 6 months. It seems that I have been spending too much time with Shiraz and Rhone valley blends of late and, coming from the Coonawarra area, I do need a good Cabernet Sauvignon every now and then.
This is quite a big wine, especially for a Chilean and it has a bold character. If you can stand to leave it I'd decant it for 1/2 an hour just to take the edge off it and to let it settle down. This wine will fill your mouth with velvety black currents and juicy black berries. As it develops on the palate and then lingers you'll start to notice some more delicate tones of cigar box and leather with gentle and smooth tannins.


It will go along very nicely with any game or red meat but my personal indulgence is Dark Chocolate.


Now, I don't mean to do the sales pitch ....  BUT ...... it is only HKD$195 a bottle and you can buy it in a very attractive 6 bottle wooden case or we do have a very nice single bottle gift tube. Very good gift idea for Chinese New Year.
