  October 5, 2013 - Deep ruby in color. Some earth, herbs, & muted dark fruit on the nose.
  Palate: darker fruit, some black cherry, decent acidity, some herbs / perfume. Reminds me of a little garrigue. Well made. Long finish. 88-89 pts.

  August 6, 2013 - A rather squat, stately sort of style, with proper sort of proportions. Smells like currant cordial, a lick of oak; mocha and toast, fresh purple plum - or some other ripe drupe - high notes of cranberries. Gentle giant on the palate: attack is broad and firm, flavours are generous but the wine is dry. A crisp, leafy vegetal note shows balance to the the rich fruit. The thing plods commandingly through time in the mouth. Good flash of pucker at the end tightens things up. A treat in its style.

  March 28, 2013 - Spicy black pepper with blackberry and dark cherry. Full body with balanced acidity. Long finish full of fruit.

  January 19, 2012 - Tasted over two days. Deep maroon, full bodied. The nose shows black fruit along with some oaky notes. I was expecting a thick new world red wine, and I was quite surprised. First, the positives- great palate weight, good levels of acidity and a good wine with a NY strip. The negatives- this had a jarring herbal green streak running through the palate which got worse as the wine was open. By the second night, it had simply turned bitter. Additionally, this faded way too quickly- the bitterness gave way to a tired example which tasted like a lousy Trader Joe's bottle or something you get as glass pour in an airport bar which could sit for days.
  
  I'm not familiar enough with Chilean wines to know what the Gran Reserva designation means, but I assume it would be a good thing- this is not.
