Wine Description

Concha Y Toro Diablo Dark Red 2017 is a captivating red wine produced by the renowned winemaker, Héctor Urzúa, in Chile’s renowned Maule Valley. It is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Carmenere grapes, which were hand-picked at the peak of ripeness to ensure the highest quality flavor.

The color of this wine is a deep garnet red, reminiscent of a dark ruby, with a glint of purple when light shines through. The aroma of Concha Y Toro Diablo Dark Red 2017 is packed with delicately sweet black fruit notes, alongside the smoky hints of mocha and creamy vanilla. On the palate, the tannins have a smooth, velvety texture that pairs perfectly with the bold flavor of the dark fruit. This wine lingers in the mouth with a pleasant aftertaste and is sure to tantalize the senses.

The quality of this wine was fostered by its terroir; the soils of the Maule Valley are comprised of alluvial and colluvial materials with good permeability and medium fertility. The climatic conditions were also favorable, ensuring a relative warm and arid atmosphere with strong, cool night breezes. The winemaker, Héctor Urzúa, further enhanced the flavor and structure by aging the wine in a combination of both French and American oak barrels, with varying levels of toasting, each for 6 months, 6 weeks, and 6 days.

Overall, Concha Y Toro Diablo Dark Red 2017 is a delicious wine that will seduce your senses with its intensity of color, captivating aromas and velvety flavors that linger in the mouth. With its bursting bouquet of dark fruit, mocha, and vanilla notes, it is an excellent accompaniment for heartier, heavier meals.

Dark red NJ ice color with an unpleasant aroma. The taste is nice with balanced, smooth, and fruity notes. Overall, it’s okay for the price in Israel.

Dale Gilbert – May 6, 2022
Ruby color. Strong blackcurrant aroma. Overly oaky and sweet for my taste, but well-made with good quality grapes.
Rated 4 out of 5
Jackie Reed – May 6, 2022
Transparent ruby color. Intense blackcurrant aroma. Overwhelming oak and caramel taste. Too sweet and round. Crowd-pleaser, but not my cup of wine. Good quality grapes and well-made wine.

Robert Humphreys – October 25, 2022
Disappointing, overly sweet with an artificial bouquet of caramelized red fruit. Unbalanced palate with no depth or finesse, lacking acidity and tannic structure. Non-existent aftertaste. Horrible sweet wine.
Rated 2 out of 5
Gregory Williams – October 25, 2022
Terrible sweet wine with synthetic bouquet, unbalanced palate lacking depth, finesse, acidity, and tannic structure. Non-existent aftertaste.

Warren Greenhalge – January 25, 2023
Review: Not as fresh, with a balsamic aroma and a hint of vanilla and spice. Tannins are well integrated and the acidity is pleasant. Good value at reduced price.
Rated 4 out of 5
Lauren Navarro – January 25, 2023
Review: Not very fresh but still a good wine. Tastes like balsamic vinegar with a hint of vanilla and spice. Tannins are well blended, with a decent fruity flavor and a long finish. Best consumed within 3-4 years of vintage. Price is a bit high for a basic overseas wine.
