  Although this wine is clearly not my preferred style of white wine - it is powerful, overripe and alcoholic (14.5%!) - I cannot help liking it in its own way. Quite sweet and slightly oxidized nose with some baked apple. Bold, probably technically dry but a sweetish note from the alcohol and the overripe fruit, medium+ acidity (where does this come from? Natural or corrected?). Slightly bitter and herbal on the finish.

  Este vinho não foi decantado, sendo utilizado apenas um aerador. A garrafa foi consumida em dois dias. Ao abrir, esta se apresentou rica em aromas, com coloração amarelada bem forte, típico da passagem longa por barrica de carvalho. Boa acidez, bastante encorpado e de ótimo final. Agradou bastante e a nota foi baseada somente no primeiro dia. No segundo dia, a garrafa esteva na geladeira e provavelmente por estar com climatização mais fria, o vinho fechou. Ficou bastante alcoólico. Após 1 hora aberta, ele voltou a abrir e o álcool saiu, mas já estava abaixo do dia anterior, sem todas as notas no paladar. Recomendo o consumo imediato, pois este vinho não evoluirá mais.

  The 2009 was definitely better and this 2010 is already downhill. Still impressive in style for a chilean chardonnay. It was better with 30 minutes decanting.
