Tasting- "Gran Crucero Ltd.

Name: Gran Crucero Ltd.
Variety: 50% Syrah, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Carmenere
Region: Colchagua Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2008
Price: $25.95
Critic Review: "Deep ruby.  Wild aromas of cassis, dark chocolate, smoky herbs and earth, along with a touch of incense.  Then supple and pliant, offering juicy redcurrant and bitter cherry, smoke and licorice flavors.  The sappy finish lingers with good authority and echoes this smoky note."
Personal Review: This wine was extremely different and something like I have never tasted.  It was very complex and very good.  I did taste smoky favors, chocolate flavors, and a little flavor of incense.  I thought it was really good and something very different.
With/Without Food: I tried this without food.
