Community Tasting Note

  • Mathijs81 Likes this wine: 95 points

    March 30, 2019 - Had to serve this blind to a fellow Chilean wine enthusiast ... guess about 2 Hrs in the decanter prior tasting.
    At this stage, much better than my previous bottle ... more mellow and less hard than two years ago.

    - Colour : deep dark red, sexually flawless kinda red
    - Nose : an abundance of red fruits, some black fruits as well, very herbal, sawed cedar wood, crushed lady bugs
    - Taste : smooth and soft as silk, very ripe, buttery, juicy fruity, like chewing and melts away in your mouth
    - Finish : very herbal, again the crushed lady bugs spring to mind, juicy, but a very long and delightful finish indeed

    I now rate this 95/100 for my Chilean bottles, believe Almaviva is a closed second now.
    If you can find this ( I paid 65 Euro discounted price ), do buy a couple of bottles.
    This wine is extremely well made, and as it looks now, this has a good ageing potential.
