Decanted for 1 hour. Very dark and matte colour in the glass...almost black. It shows big concentration of fruit along with powerful tannins that started to melt down due to the aeration. It's very concentrated on the palate with powerful tannins and pronounced astringency that became much softer after 2 hours. On the nose, it evolved from typical peppery Syrah to a more fruity character with blueberries, raspberries, screaming toffee and mild oak. This is very good and interesting wine. No need to cellar it any longer. Drink it now! Highly recommended! 90+

Kraftfullt vin från Chile med druvblandningen Syrah, Carmenere, Cab.Sauv m.fl. Är på topp idag, blir inte bättre.

Rounded out to be a nice food accompaniment.

Alvaro Espinoza has it together, another nice Chilean blend....maybe not the caliber of Antiyal but a great wine with food and very resaonable.
