  At its price range, this is a great Chilean Bordeaux blend. The herbal green notes are pronounced and nice from the Cab Sauv, Cab Franc and Carmenere. Silky tannins. Lotsa dark fruits, intense and full bodied. Still developing, but very balance with long finish. Drink now with potential to age.

  A beautiful second wine. Still very young. He has great guard potential. Full-bodied, still with some astringency, long and persistent finish. Red and black fruits mix in a harmonious profusion with touches of cigar and chocolate.

  Tremendous wine and *way* better than the bottle I tried 3 years ago which was green and disjointed. This wine is now more or less fully integrated with a deep, luscious nose of dark red & black fruit, cedar, cigar/tobacco and savory herbs. Dark garnet in the glass with a medium body and silky texture; legs take over a minute to run down. On the palate fine tannins, more red & black fruit with notes of tobacco, herbs, a pleasant minerality and oak. Very enjoyable wine that is smooth on the palate and has balance & class. Finish lingers for over a minute.... Great value @ $40.00-50.00 USD. Totally ready to drink but has structure to go another 2-4 years easy. I don't think this is too far behind it's big brother and for the $ represents terrific value.
