Koyle 2009 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
88Points

The Koyle Reserva Cabernet blends Maipo fruit (mint and olive flavours) and Colchagua fruit (concentrated cassis flavours) for interest and balance. The result is a glass full of tar and graphite, with dense currant fruit, smooth tannins and a mocha finish.
