April 28, 2024 - Merlot com 13% de Carménère e estágio de 13 meses em barricas de carvalho francês, 42% de primeiro uso. Coloração rubi ainda brilhante e intensa com ligeira formação de halo atijolado. Nariz de madeira velha, café, fruta negra e aromas balsâmicos, mentol mais destacado. Em boca um vinho de estrutura bem preservada, acidez ativa, taninos também presentes, bom volume e final de médio a longo, com algo de pirazina mais evidente no retrogosto, embora sem dominar o bom conjunto. A guarda de 10 anos lhe fez muito bem.

March 10, 2019 - Over manipulated Merlot. Notes of blackberry and an astringent charred oak. Drank like a one-dimensional over ripe Cab or Malbec. Initially had at the winery tasting and was impressed, but we were highly disappointed with the full bottle.
