  Been 2 years since the last bottle of this. It’s frozen in time and character. Just like the last bottle but more green. I would have said carminare on the nose.

  Sadly this wine has long passed it whatever peak it might have enjoyed. It was very purple with fast legs and a short hot nose of alcohol and oak. It has a bitter after taste with bark, black pepper, and dust notes. It has a long finish with high acidity. I have two more bottles remaining - not sure what I'll choose to do with them.

  On the down-hill but still quite enjoyable. Sound wine with good integration.

  Medium purple barely garnet. Green pepper and cassis aroma. Oak has mellowed with a hint of chocolate. After decanting the green is exaggerated with green tomatoes added. Hint of green tamales. Plenty of acid and fine tannins.

  Solid but inexpensive syrah that shows the typical Chilean green streak (but not in a bad way). In good shape at 8 years!
