Great Chilean Bordeaux blend from a 1/2 bottle: The grape variety is Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Malbec 21%, Carmenère 15% and Petit Verdot 4%. Carmenère provides a typical “green” note, bell pepper, blackcurrant, tobacco, leather, cassis, soft oak, graphite, black cherry, medium plus body, still young yet already so good, long green dry finish. Enjoying a night home alone without wife and kids 😊

Nose- lightly floral, nice deep berries. Palate- smooth, medium to full weight, long finish, deep berries and slight hints of forest. 10/11/23 - Drank the rest of the wine with Spaghetti dressed with pesto , pine nuts, and parmesan - it was absolutely delicious!
Still too young, opened this expecting it to be a bit more approachable. Very austere, a lovely dark purple color. The nose is very bordeaux with a lot of small red and blue fruits, raspberry, blueberry, cassis and cranberry. On the palate it's obviously not bordeaux and you get a lot more Chilean notes coming from the Carmenere, green pepper, spice, smoke along with cherry and cranberry again. It's a very well made wine that has a lot to offer. I'd like to try a much older version of this but I still think that the price tag is a bit much for what you get, and I got it for 130$ (USD)

Nose - rich, dark notes Palate - rich, full, dark fruits Delicious with meat balls in BBQ sauce, green chili cheese rice casserole, and green peas. 2/16/23 - The rest of the wine was drunk with butternut squash ravioli, with pumpkin sauce, walnuts, parmesan and sage. Exceptional! The 2nd half of the bottle breathed for one day in the bottle, and was even better. It was very, very good the 1st night, and it was nearly perfect tonight.
