Morande Reserva

Well, the one I drank had a different label and wasn't a 'pianero rosa' or something.  It had a nice ink blotch/squiggle that sort of looked like a tree and it was a cab sav.  I have had my eye on it for a while but I'm slightly nervous about chileans because they're not argentinians (although the Palo Alto at b33phd1p & wango's the other night has me thawing a bit).  

It's dry and spanking new like a tennis ball, but doesn't smell like one thankfully.  It is well balanced with a reserva tannin, but a little fine for me, I tend to like a body that begs to be wrestled.  I would like to see what it could do to a hot dog with mustard and relish. 

Rating: pending.
