[CHILE] Vino nos reúne. (Spanish: Wine brings us together) _ Another great art piece from Chile. Never disappointed with Chilean wine, not to mention this Chilean Syrah won the Silver medal at Decanter World Wine Awards 2015. Not really willing to drink this wine (actually I planned to keep it for another few years) as the price rose about 26% in two months after I purchased it and I think the value will keep increasing. Since it’s the 2019 Chinese New Year and my eldest sister rarely came back from overseas, therefore we are having a simple BBQ dinner and pairing with this fantastic wine. _ Amazing Syrah wine with deep dark violet color. Strong notes of leather, oak and black currant on nose with flavors of plum, cherry, dark chocolate on palate. Smooth and strong tannin with a great long finish, the aftertaste is more on the dry side. I paired it with BBQ salmon and beef streaky, the combination is weird but quite tasty though. _ I try my best to drink only a glass of red wine every day as I need to control my calorie intake. However, Alto Tajamar is so tasty and irresistible, I drank a half bottle during dinner. I don’t always buy red wine that’s more than 100USD, but I truly understand what is mean by “what you pay is what you get”. Definitely another great milestone for my wine blog. Looking forward to try more and more fantastic red wine. _ #chile #vinamaipo #altotajamar #silvermedal #syrah #shiraz #redwine #my2019WineCollection (at Jenjarom, Selangor, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtxxCmGgUfg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wewe7efcbzv5
