Deep maroon red. Slightest hint of fuchsia at rim. Almost cloudy. Unfiltered?
Dusty berry compote on the nose, with pan juices, graphite pencils, a bit of VA, resinous oak, rose, bacon fat. Some violet, smoke, and chocolate coated raisins with further breathing.
Dry cabernet tannins. The flavour fans out on the palate and has good persistence. Reasonably one-dimensional at this stage in its life, with some simple fruit and oak dominating. Blackberry, plum, smoke, mint toothpaste, a ferrous element, and a hint of chamomile with extended breathing. Only medium bodied, with a watercolour depth yet quite structured.
Opinion: Enjoyable, high quality Chilean blend. Wish I had bought a few more of these for the cellar. Alas, this was my only bottle, purchased during a work trip in Chile.
