Vintage: 2007
Type: Shiraz
Country: Chile
Casillero del Diablo is a safe wine. Reasonably cheap (though the Cabernet is now quite expensive now that it has been recognised), this winery is reliable to produce a decent wine. The shiraz follows this trend, good flavour, good colour and good taste. I recommend it if you can find it for a good price.
Also the crest is pretty cool.

Type: Carmenere
Country: Chile – Casablanca
I quite liked this wine. A straight Carmenere is a bit odd, but it worked quite well. Recommended.

Type: Merlot
Country: Chile – Colchagua Valley
Nice Merlot with good flavour and taste.
Vintage: 2001
Type: Cabernet Merlot
Country: New Zealand – Hawke’s Bay
This is a non-review as the bottle that I tried was corked. It promised to be good…
Vintage: 2001
Type: Barolo
Country: Italy
An excellent strong Barolo. Great colour and fragrance, quite a bold flavour. Perfect with a steak (I wouldn’t drink this on itself).
