  March 16, 2024 - Ok - drinking again, one year later. This time with spaghetti and meatballs. I am telling you this is a great wine especially at the price. Fairly easy to get in the US but will be headed to Chile later this fall. Chilean wine not necessarily the best wines across the board but some are just outstanding including this one. Try it! If you have some drink some now but certainly has several years to go.

  January 24, 2024 - Wow! Steak with chimichurri sauce for dinner and this wine. Do you like Bordeaux? You have to try this Bordeaux blend heavy on the Carmenere but includes the cab sav and Merlot. Certainly my favorite Chilean red wine. At 10 years old this was at its peak. Good value in my mind as well.

  January 12, 2024 - My selection for the monthly CWG at Eddie’s V. Double Decanted for just 15 min and start consuming about 2 hours later.
  
  The wine is big and bold with lots of tannins and dark notes, very complex and nicely integrated.
  
  What a great wine and what a nice finish.

  November 25, 2023 - 4th Saturday Group: Uptown Brown Bag (V&M's): Double blind. Deep color. Aromas of herbs, bacon and black fruit. Full-bodied. Flavors of black fruit, plum and tapenade, with balancing acidity. Very nice. Guessed syrah. 91+ pts. (J&S)

  September 1, 2023 - Quick 10 minutes decanted and start consuming about 2 hours later.
  
  It was a bit tart, tight, and acid. The body was big and full, plenty of fruit, tannins and structure. I believe the air wasn't enough and the time we drank it wasn't the best either.
