New vintage of this for me.... Not unlike the 2019, sampled a few months back, with slight variations..... On nose: cat's pee and asparagus, but not overbearing. On palate: above notes falling into line, aided by lemon peel, chives, a ghost of jalapeno pepper, delivered on a well balanced, slightly acidic profile....good shellfish wine.

Very attractive SB with green apple and tropical fruits. It has freshness and complexity but avoids the over-emphasised acidity and gooseberry flavours of some SBs. Quite soft and ‘together’. Apparently this comes from a specific block at La Escultara Estate in the Aconcagua Valley (it is perhaps worth checking the label carefully in view of the range of variations available from Errazuriz). It was commended in the IWSC awards 2022.
