January 18, 2024 - Opened for two hours prior to dinner. Dark red fruit on the nose. The palate was dark cherry, red plums, tobacco and raspberry. The finish was moderate to long. A nice wine.

January 7, 2023 - Twin Cities Wine Club: South American Tasting (Maple Grove, MN): Near the end of the drinking cycyle but very good. Bordeaux like in many ways with cherry, minerals, tobacco, gravel, perfume and raspberries. Medium plus finish. Drink now.

September 26, 2021 - Appearance: deep purple/ruby color. No gas or sediment. Medium(+) tearing
Nose: medium(+) aromas of vegetables (asparagus, broccoli) with some dill and plum notes
Palate: high tannins, super smooth and clean, medium(+)/full bodied, bone dry, medium(+)/high acid. Medium/medium(-) flavors of plum and vegetal flavors with notes of tobacco. Really nice complexity, good balance, and a long mouthwatering gentle red plum finish.
Interesting vegetal notes, zippy acidity, and a really nice finish. Really clean and is drinking well now1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 6, 2021 - Opened for the birthday of my wife. A great Chilean bordeaux blend with on the nose cassis, deep black cherries, leather, chocolate, mocha and an herbaceous note (green pepper?). On the palate very velvety in texture, with deep cassis, cherries, plum and blackberries. Long finish
Medium+ acidity
No direct sign of its age, very drinkable now and probably for at least another 10 years1 person found this helpful Comment
