title: Concha y Toro 2009 Gravas del Maipo Syrah (Maipo Valley)
description: The hot conditions of 2009 are draped all over this rich, syrupy wine that's opaque to the eye and heavily charred on the nose. Under a blanket of burnt oak, there's leather, beef and black-fruit aromas. The palate on this heavyweight is chewy, while flavors of oak, roasted berry and herbs lead to a mildly complex but forceful finish. This is more big and ripe than elegant.
variety: Syrah
designation: Gravas del Maipo
