Excellent; I'd say these have reached it's drinking window; half a decade later than expected! Decanted by eye (not much sedement in this or the last one opened eight years ago!), and given a few hours to come to room temperature. Great balance across the grape varieties with some ale to be picked out from the blend.

I'm not quite sure when I bought these, but I had a note to keep them for a good few years and it's been worth the wait. Nicely balanced, but still powerful enough to be a great match with steak and pepper sauce. It feels like there's plenty of life left, but I'm not sure the remaining bottles will be allowed to see out another five years!

Dark red. Big, big nose, plums, black current dark forest fruits spicy edge on nose. Smooth, big, smokey, tangy, dark fruit, good length, big tannins. Big wine.

Instant massive nose of forest fruits. Dark wine. Very new world, coming into its own now. Medium length, immediate ripe red fruits, develops nicely with balanced tannins. Very drinkable.

Ok wine considering the price ($30). You may find better Chilean choices on price range. Their Cabernet Sauvignon is much better and more affordable.
