January 18, 2024 - Elegant showing blackberry, forrest floor, tart cherry and blueberry. Medium to full bodied, low to medium acidity and polished tannins. A little disappointed, missing the humph. Drinking alongside a 2014 Canon La Gaffelière which is more complex, bold and refined. NI:4, FI:22, FC:8, B:4, L:4

December 24, 2023 - On the nose: Red berries, cedar tree, and pepper.
On the palate: medium body, fresh fruit, oak, leather, and pleasant acidity.
Overall, well balanced and easily enjoyable Cabernet Sauvignon blend; but, lack of complexity and depth.
I will choose an enrty level GCC Bordeaux or a good Chianti Classico Gran Selezione over this Chilean red.

December 21, 2023 - A good expression of Boudreaux clean mainly Cabernet. Lots of mineral character graphite and iron. Black currant, black cherry and slight oak. I expected a bit more but still a high quality wine just maybe not a great vintage. 91 points.

February 18, 2023 - Color: Inky Purple
Nose: Floral, Slightly Coiled, and Dark Fruit
Taste: BlackBerry and some Plums, but very short finish with medium acidity; underwhelming but slightly uncoiled with time.
Comp’s: Had this wine with Italian food as a PnP, that I believe was not stored the best since it was quite acidic and would expect more. Very much has the makings to be more better though! -
