56% CS, 32% Carmenere, 5%CF, 4% Merlot, 3% Syrah. Both times the wine tasted past it's prime and old then after 2.5 hours it came alive and tasted fresh and vibrant with years ahead of it. Great length, depth, complexity, and smooth to drink. Med acidity and tannins. blackberry, raspberry, chocolate, leather, tobacco. Delightful.

Wanted to try one of these with more age. 56% CS, 32% Carmenere, 5% CF, 4% Merlot, 3% Syrah. 2010 was not a great vintage for Chile. This wine was very smooth and with very relaxed tannins. I thought it might be nearing the end if it's drinking window but then it surprised me as it improved over the 2 + hours the bottle was open. Palate of blackberry, plum, leather, minerals.

Cassis, tobacco, some leather/parchment, teak, stone basement. Tannins have good grip. Just entering its drinking window, decant at least an hour.

Well balanced plum and cherry, with long finish. Good integration of oak. Quality wine.
