In search for some cheap "Bordeaux" look a like my eyes went to Chile. Concha y Toro is a very big wine producer and it is quite some time since I had a wine from Chile.
Casillero del Diablo is a mark with many different wines. The Cabernet Sauvignon is claimed according to their web site to be ripe fruity elegant wine with a long pleasant finish. At 12€ this would of course be a bargain, but the ones who makes money is Concha y Toro.
The wine has a discrete un-fashonable "green" bouquet with limped inzipid short stringent taste which does not match cheese, nor saucisson or a spicy meat casserolle. An unforgettable wine in a pricy flashy whiskey look a like box. The grapes must be left overs and the bottle design all made to attract customers.
Casillero del Diablo Cab Sauv 2008, Chile - pls dont buy it, plain water is better.
The biggest P--- so far this year and wines like this can only ruin the image of wines from Chile.
