I got one in an auction recently for cheap and got out of curiosity.

I was quite impressed, quite a nice wine. Acidity holding things together nicely, soft tanins very resolved now. All forest floor, dry earth and mushrooms now.

Pre 2000’s was before Chilean wines entered what I think was a more over extracted, high yields era. This is one of the nicest CS with evolution that I’ve had from Chile (and I’ve had plenty), really reminded me of an old school made left bank claret.

Had this one yesterday and it was trully stunning, beautiful nose of flowers and wet earth. On the mouth it was very iron-ish, thin tannins, some red fruit, earthy with good acidity to bring it all together. Lovely bottle. Drinking beautifully right now.

Really good bottle. Had it yesterday. Good idea to decant aggressively, it will help with the reductive aromas. Also, definitely have on the colder-end 13-14 C. It took it a while to show, but it did. Nice vibrant acidity, soft tanins, medium-long end. Really liked this one.
