This super intellectual wine opens with deep fruit that--over the course of 3 hours (no decant)--steps back to let the tar, maraschino, wintergreen, moss, and pickle notes pervade. The incredible complexity continues on the chocolate chip cookie and hot cinnamon palate which features tart, textured cherry, cumin, tea, hay, and gravel. When all is said and done, a quiet, juicy, black cherry drop remains. What a treat to find deep in the cellar. A stunner with plenty of life ahead. -2030

Been three years since the last bottle was consumed. Still drinking like a young cab. Deep, cassis, dark. Noticed a little "green" with this bottle. Overall still a wonderful wine.

dark garnet, nose of dark cherry and cedar, incredible classic cabernet flavors of cherry, cedar box and spice, luscious long finish with perfectly integrated tannins.

Amazing - aerated into a decanter and let sit for an hour, huge swirling flavors of caramel and coffee, a touch of menthol mid palate and a long finish with hints of tobacco - an outstanding wine - I first drank it at the vineyard in Chile and thought it was great and I was not disappointed. I will wait a year before opening my last bottle.

Needed to breathe well in decanter before drinking. Probably just past its best but still a lovely drink. Robust, full flavour.
