  Tasted at Don Melchor vertical dinner with Enrique Tirado. Super minerally and savoury on the nose. Beautiful texture and length. Of the six vintages tasted tonight (88/92/06/14/20/21), I think this is my favourite. Seems to be in a great spot. Recognizably Chilean, with restraint and elegance.

  After a two hour decant, this wine still appeared to be tight. Tilled soil, wet tobacco, dark fruit and a touch of pyrazine on the finish. As the wine unfurled in the glass, it opened up nicely. Spring flowers accented the dark fruit and tobacco notes. A classic i case of opening the bottle too young. Great juice with another five to seven years in the cellar.

  Dark fruit, charcoal, tree bark and well integrated wood. Bold yet elegant. This wine has a long life ahead of it. Layered and exciting. Good juice.

  成熟甘甜的桑葚、蓝莓果味，香草、甘草和奶油巧克力的香气。前期果味和酸度被含量丰富的单宁压制，整体风格浓郁而紧实。随着醒酒，丝丝酸度从逐渐柔化的单宁包围中透出，带来更好的平衡感。香气入口的集中度不及其变化性，所以到后期又回归了沉默寡言的状态，让人莫名想起《黑爵士IV》里的台词，“我们要深沉，假装胸有成竹，免得被人看穿。”

  Maybe a little young. Spicy, big. Not sure if style changed but last vintage I had was more subtle if my recollection is correct.
