January 21, 2016 - One of the best South American wines I have ever drunk. Like a great Bordeaux, only stronger. Parker rating is a joke. This wine is delicate and powerful at the same time. The aromas change constantly. Lots of terroir.
March 7, 2015 - Mesmas impressões anteriores. Excelente
December 6, 2014 - Excelente. Taninos macios acidez equilibrada. Presença marcante de frutas vermelhas. Com um toque de pimenta. Final persistente.
April 5, 2014 - Is it good?Yeah,but is it worth the pricetag?Not really,IMHO chilean cabs when they're good they taste like bordeaux,with a hint of mint And guava fruit...I can live without the mint and guava,so I'll be buying more bordeaux instead.
July 31, 2012 - An absolutely beautiful wine. Dark color, thick texture. Decant and/or let it develop for a while. After ½ hour nose becomes full of secondary notes along with the cassis - palate is massive and finish is long. One bottle left. Keep or drink.

April 14, 2012 - this is good now dout - I was really impressed - with the smell the taste - the deepness - but you have to open it in good time - it was opned and decanted 4 hours before drinking - I am going to buy more
October 29, 2011 - An amazing wine! Blackberries, black currants, ripe figs, loam, dark chocolate and liquorice on the nose. Full-bodied and ultra-smooth, yet perfectly round, with textbook tannins, rich fruit, balancing acidity and a very long aftertaste. Its pairing with a juicy and lightly sauced veal fillet was made in heaven!
October 28, 2011 - High quality wine with beautiful blackberry fruit expression at very good condition for its age. My only reservation was that it could not be anything else than Chile, so it seemed to me as slightly predictable. But the same could be said for any wine with typicity, what is the problem then? I am not sure. A friend accused me of snobbery, but while I recognized the quality of the wine I found its flavours a little boring. I will have to think it over...
June 19, 2011 - Surprisingly, this has matured quite a bit in the past 18 months since I tried my first bottle. Only a one hour decant is required. Although this top rated Chilean is a very high quality wine, it doesn't have the cellaring potential or or complexity of an equalivant priced premium label from Italy, France, Australia or Spain. Nonethless, it was certainly interesting to experience first-hand one of the best that Chile has to offer.
