My Grade: VG. Better on 2nd day after vacuvin. Deep, opaque Mauve in the glass, watery rim. On the nose: somewhat funky, red plums, blueberries, camphor with green bell pepper/gasoline which is a little off-putting but fairly common for Chilean reds. Palate: plush mouth-feel, fairly simple blueberry, back plum, blackcurrant. Medium acidity, slightly hollow mid-palate, fine, chewy tannins, thin, fairly short finish. There are better Malbecs at this price. (see my profile for grades).

Very pleasant, typical Malbec. I get some cedar (!) on the nose, and blackberry and strawberry on the palate. Very enjoyable with a longish finish. Will definitely buy more.

Flavorful Malbec from Chile. Pleasantly surprised as it was smooth & very drinkable.

Nice Malbec. Needs 90 minutes or more in the decanter, in fact, was better on night 2. Maraschino cherry and blackberry. Light tannin. Very pleasant.
