Blackcurrant cordial nose which follows through on the palate which suggests strongly where its Chilean cab sav. It's alcoholic Ribena and not a lot else. Having said that I like Ribena and I like alcohol so it's OK but expect more complexity for a wine at RRP of over £30.

PnP - was 56 degrees F in my cellar during Winter. Initial nose was giving - light mint and tobacco and with mild wet earth stink (not Brett) - the good kind. Oh and nice dark fruits on the nose. I rather like the nose - what I expect from Chile. Wine is medium-light bodied - a bit thin and short finish, but nice flavors - sweet pure fruit and light oak. Hoping it gets better as it warms up. Initial impression is I like it, but not sure it's worth $23USD.

Spicy, with a serious green edge that's not necessarily off-putting if you like that sort of thing. At least it's not a generic oak bomb, though there is wood here.

Love this wine. Nice red and black fruit on the nose. Nice mouthfeel... tannins are there but balance with the fruit.

Wine Company and Thomas Liquors present Errazuriz & Decero (Wine Company): Spice, cherry, light oak and coffee. Balanced wine and bright fruit shines on the palate and finish.
