Review for Casa de Santar Reserva 2004

    ryanopaz Wine Blogger October 9, 2007
    Deep dark marroonish red with a thick core of color. Bacon fat bullet(what would that look like?) seems to dart out of the dark forest of flavors. Cherry, cassis, smoke, and other mysterious flavors sit behind a wall of a Chocolate Mocha Coffee waterfall. The depth is what draws me to this wine closer as I try to get my head around the nose. In the mouth I'm at first put off a bit by the simple sweet tannins and light acidity. But with some air and proper "swishing" in the mouth I really do see the flavors from the nose, but through hazy sunglasses, faint yet potent flavors that have yet to evolve. Cherry and cassia like candy are evident with coffee, chocolate, and spice box notes jumping in and out. Really a fun wine. Recommended
