August 8, 2012 - Soft tannins and whipped creamy red fruit, again calm but not really developed much, nice wine, holding well.
June 10, 2008 - Very dark color. oak, smoke, little vegetal maybe some onion on the nose. Full body lusicious fruit with some oak. Plum blackberry touch of bacon. Very smooth and a little sweet light tannins.
July 27, 2007 - Very nice, dark purple, concentrated with notes of fruit, cedar, mint and oak on the nose, very extracted and smooth and complex on the palate - Another great Chilean bargain (89 Points).
September 19, 2006 - Vinho excelente. Não é a toa que foi eleito o melhor Cabernet Sauvignon do Chile de 2005. Muito interessante, equilibrado, fácil de beber.
May 29, 2006 - Ruby red in colour with purple hues. Lovely aromas of blackcurrants and cream. Palate shows yet more blackcurrants, plums, tobacco and oak. Good acid and subtle tannins. Nice velvety mouth feel and good length. Excellent!
(Tasted in the BA Business Lounge, Terminal 4, LHR)
May 7, 2006 - Nice, bright and jucy. Pretty good cab for $14, but not a lot of complexity. Nice quaffer but I don't see a lot more in this one. More in the finish with better tannis than the Montes Alpha, but not as good at the Marquis de Casa Concha.
April 30, 2006 - 88 with potential to score higher down the road - A surprisingly compex wine for the price point - initailly very fruit forward for a Cab, but shows its roots on the finish. A bargain that I would highly recommend.
February 25, 2006 - Definite rubber elements on the nose, but riding in nice fruit and spice. Very nice body, a bit of pepper. Good balance, nice acids, hints of tobacco. Medium finish with nice elements. Aired well and enjoyable, even more than before.
September 27, 2005 - Vintus Portfolio Tasting (Burgundy Room, Columbus, Ohio): Pepper and celery nose. More rubber elements- what is with these wines? - grippy and biting tannins. Nice fruit in the back as the tannins fade, good acid. Aromatic and menthol on the finish. Potential here, but the bad may outshine the good.
May 31, 2005 - Bright purple
Spicy smooth oak, quite lush, very primary, lots of cassis and plum.
Needs a few years
