Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, February 15, 2022 - Heavy bottle.
Deep, inky purple.

On decanting, a massive aroma of perfumed black fruits filled the room.

In the glass, enormous berry nose, exploding with blackberry, black plum, violets, and a clovey scent of dental surgery.

Not quite as full on the palate as the nose, the hefty alcohol and weight of the bottle made me think it might be. Don't get me wrong, you don't not notice this by any means, but there's a nice freshness to the fruit and lovely balance: you certainly don't notice the 14.5% alcohol. At least not until you stand up. Really, rather, and somewhat dangerously, drinkable.

Soft tannins initially, really firming up and gripping on the finish. Immense length.

Beautifully made wine (not an entirely backhanded compliment)

If I had more, I'd be leaving it for at least ten years till the next bottle.

As often with Chile, a very pure expression of the grape.
