Marques de Casa Concha, Syrah, Peumo, Chile 2005

Deep purple.

Deep aromas - balsamic grilled meat, oak toast, blackberry and earth.

Intense, slightly saline entry. Acid dominant structure clamps down considerably on black fruit and spice flavors, but not ridiculously so. Nice purity and concentration, little complexity. This will probably improve with another 2-3 years in the bottle.

Day 3 - Some musky/coconut aromas now. But better in the mouth, though coconut emerges there too. Density is impressive, particularly for the $$.
