Community Tasting Notes 14

  April 8, 2021 - Records not handy. Bought 4b, probably under 20/b, probably from Binny's about 15 years ago; this is #2. Solid cork. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark purple; somewhat rustic Bdx nose; mature blackcurrant, hint of cedar, very good mouthfeel; good persistence. Delicious, perhaps the best Chilean red I've tasted, still plenty of life; glad to have more. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation (see earlier posts for my 4-category, non-point rating system): This is outstanding- when considering quality, age, and price.

  July 13, 2016 - This has aged nicely and it is drinking well now. Considerable character and depth. 89-90.

  April 22, 2013 - Popped & poured a couple of glasses as dinner was prepared; began tasting 45 minutes later. Aromas of red & dark fruits, plum, loamy earth and sandalwood. The green notes apparent when first opened have dissipated leaving only a hint in the bouquet. Tannins are integrating nicely. Flavors of herbs, eucalyptus, plums and dark fruit. Finishes nicely and lingers just a bit. In the early bit of its drinking window. Drink now-2018.

  September 25, 2012 - ALMOST TOO LATE. TOTALLY READY TO DRINK. INTERESTING BALANCE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT GRAPES THAT MAKE IT.
