  • Brought this to Tunglok Peking Duck for dinner with my wine mates. Theme of the Evening: Wines that start with the letter S.

    One of my favourites in the earlier part of my drinking days. This is a wine that has continued to wow and impressed me over the past decade. A hidden gem, the wine-makers of this wine deserves high praises for their skillful craft in wine-making and creating a blend that is so satisfying on the palate yet pleasing on the wallet.

    In the glass, the wine reveals a deep and alluring ruby-red color, indicating its richness, depth and age.

    On the nose, the wine offers a captivating bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with notes of black cherries and a hint of blueberries. These luscious fruit aromas are complemented by subtle hints of earthy spices, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging.

    On the palate, the wine is full-bodied nature and complex. The dark fruit flavors, with the blackberries, plums, and cherries creating a harmonious and bold expression. This is further enhanced by layers of rich cocoa, coffee, and a gentle smokiness, adding depth and dimension to the wine's profile. Tannins are well resolved, with a long and lingering finish.

    While the rest of wine community recommended drinking this wine earlier rather than later, I would give this wine a 10 to 15 years cellaring before opening to allow the senses to appreciate what a good, mature Chilean blend tastes like. Good wines do take their time to mature.

  • Agree with Jasper May. Needs some decanting time now.

  • Dark red at the rim - dark fruits and some black tea on the nose. Full bodied with quite hefty tannins, blue fruits on the palate, once given a couple of hours in the decanter the wine becomes a bit more relaxed and softens, fresh with a fair length. Quite a bit of sediment, good for a few years in the cellar yet.

  • Modern style, rich taste, quite powerful, good development. Lacking some elegance. Still has a lot of life left in it and might improve further over the next 3 years. Very suitable for a rich (charcoal) grilled meat dish.
