  The previous review is on target. This wine needs to breathe. I returned my first bottle because the cork broke and it seemed excessively harsh. Cork broke in 2nd bottle too so gave it a chance anyway. After getting some air it's interesting, has some complexity, might hope for a little more smoothness, but good at this price.

  Complete Rhone-like nose of medium intensity: dried herbs, chocolate, meaty notes and ripe dark fruit. The palate is super smooth. Tannins must have softened with 7 years of age. Ripe blueberry, some licorice and vanilla. No excess heat or oak. It’s aged in used French oak barrels. 14% alcohol. It could use a little more acidity and verve, but otherwise it’s a smooth aged Syrah with slightly modern features on the palate but more French/Rhone-like nose, which is typical for Chilean wines in general. I don’t think it’s going to improve at this point, so drink now. Small production independent winery with only 5,756 bottles of this made.
