Back to the original question. Are Chilean wines reliable? Not necessarily: this past year I seem to have abandoned lots - especially in the under £7 zone - after a couple of sips. But Errazuriz Cabernet Sauvignon, El Ceibo Estate, Aconcagua Valley, 1998 (very widely available, usually about £6.50) is a well made wine that's much more appealing than many Ribena-like Chilean Cabs at the price. Or more. A great autumn any-night wine.
