Probably best in a year or so, but this Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto, Chile has a wonderful personality -- blackberry and currant are most discernible -- and a nice balance. I drank it without food, but if one were to enjoy an edible delight with it, I suspect it would pair wonderfully with various well seasoned ethnic dishes and anything but the gamiest of meats.
Disclaimer: I have heard that Wine Spectator gave this wine an impressive 94 rating, and unfortunately for the review I knew this a priori. It would be hard not to enjoy this bad boy, though.
