November 1, 2023 - Tasted at Don Melchor vertical dinner with Enrique Tirado. Super minerally and savoury on the nose. Beautiful texture and length. Of the six vintages tasted tonight (88/92/06/14/20/21), I think this is my favourite. Seems to be in a great spot. Recognizably Chilean, with restraint and elegance.

May 29, 2023 - After a two hour decant, this wine still appeared to be tight. Tilled soil, wet tobacco, dark fruit and a touch of pyrazine on the finish. As the wine unfurled in the glass, it opened up nicely. Spring flowers accented the dark fruit and tobacco notes. A classic i case of opening the bottle too young. Great juice with another five to seven years in the cellar.

April 22, 2023 - Dark fruit, charcoal, tree bark and well integrated wood. Bold yet elegant. This wine has a long life ahead of it. Layered and exciting. Good juice.

February 16, 2023 - 成熟甘甜的桑葚、蓝莓果味，香草、甘草和奶油巧克力的香气。前期果味和酸度被含量丰富的单宁压制，整体风格浓郁而紧实。随着醒酒，丝丝酸度从逐渐柔化的单宁包围中透出，带来更好的平衡感。香气入口的集中度不及其变化性，所以到后期又回归了沉默寡言的状态，让人莫名想起《黑爵士IV》里的台词，“我们要深沉，假装胸有成竹，免得被人看穿。”

December 24, 2022 - Maybe a little young. Spicy, big. Not sure if style changed but last vintage I had was more subtle if my recollection is correct.
