  3/21/2024 - Wine Diplomats Likes this wine: 92 Points

  Comes from a specific block in Los Lingues. 80% aged in French oak barrels for 12 months but they don’t specify how much was new. Definitely more ripe fruit than the Bordeaux but less ripe than the Napa, with some typical Chilean herbal, eucalyptus notes and milder oak notes than the Bordeaux. Less tannic than the other two. Cassis. Some dark cherry fruit too. Some menthol. I like this because it manages to be between the Napa and Bordeaux in terms of ripeness. There's less oak and tannin, higher acid. You just have to appreciate the pyrazine aspects of Central Valley Chilean Cabernet and Carmenere, but it’s less prominent with this wine compared to average reds from the region.
