Amazingly tannic for a 2013. Bought 6 bottles awhile back and drank the first today. I will probably wait another 5 years before I drink the next bottle. I wouldn't be surprised if this wine has another 20 years to go. Plenty of flavor now, layered like a good wine should be. Reminds me of a good, but young, Napa cab. Neither overly fruity or oaky as it seems many Chilean cabs are. Nicely balanced. Should only get better with continued bottle aging.

Good South American tar. My experience tells me this is still very young, with plenty of depth to go 10 more years. Still too young with several notes that need to mellow and blend.

decent enough, actually better on day 2 so should continue to cellar well for a few years yet a glass sampled each day while the rest was used to make onion gravy

Fresh Cabernet fruit, nicely balanced with well integrated oak. A bit of bottle aging has settled this nicely, meaning this isn't a fruit or oak bomb as many Chilean cabs can start off their life. Enjoyable mid-week wine that'll keep on giving for a good 5 years more.

Green pepper forward. Very, very dry. A good amount of oak. Pretty nice balance.
