Decanted for 2 hours. It smells and tastes exactly what you can expect from a expect from a top Chilean wine made of Carmenere (70%)....lots of ripe red bell pepper, guava and a hint of mint with well dosed oak. Full bodied, slightly astringent. Good, but not up to the same level of the 2005. I'll let my other bottle resting for another 5 years. 90+

Inky, dense, a bit heavy, but working well with heavy food.

Dense, soft fine grained tannins and spicy. Worked well for Indian food.
