Good colour with no signs of age. Nose was slow to develop at first but showed just a trace of 'farmyard' at first (nice) but this was short-lived. Within an hour of opening the rich palate showed good dark, mainly blackberry, fruits with soft integrated tannins, hints of spice, good balance and length. It improved over 5-6 hours. Good on its own and even better with food. Next day, the wine was drinking well and was a fine partner to duck confit. Well worth keeping to this point and it has life yet. The drinking dates shown are too pessimistic and I have added a (conservative) couple of years to the end date. I'm surprised there have been no notes for the last 4 years - this is a wine that always develops over a longer time span. Nice wine.

I bought a bottle with my friend to drink while having Christmas Party. The bottle was not expensive so I never had high hopes in this wine. But I liked it quite much and will probably buy again. (Hopefully it can fint into my wine fridge.)

PnVnD let air for 1hr. Dark purple garnet dense alomost saturated with plum to clear rim. Menthol cassis plum and tobacco on the nose. Medium weight with softly burred tannins. Nicely ripe on the palate with enough freshness to keep it from being cloying with flavours of cassis plum soy dark chocolate tobacco and espresso. Only the slightest of telltale Chilean green cedar flavour. Very nice for the price.

Olfactive: berries, med intensity after being Carafed 30 min. Degustative: no acidity (light), no bitterness, dry, light body, med persistence. Typical Cab/sauv. Young but balanced. Fair price/quality - no more

The nose on opening is dark red fruit, slight hint of spice.
On the palate its plum; rich but not heavy. Very well balanced with a medium finish that builds. This is an excellent value wine. I've had several Errazuriz wines now and they have all been very pleasing. Recommended.

Bright deep purple color. Menthol and dark berry fruit aromas. Very pleasant drinking, with blackberries and well integrated soft tannins. Long fruity finish.

Mullig Cab från Chile. Inte riktigt min stil, men visst är det gott. Fick inspiration när jag läste Decanters oktober-issue med fokus på sydamerika. Just den här fick 89p där. Jag fick mycket vibbar av soltorkade tomater, taco (spiskummin?), ketchup, söta plommon och en del rök. I munnen är det nästan bara svarta vinbär så druvan är det ingen tvekan om. Fyllig, lång med mogna tanniner, men som sagt var kanske lite väl mycket oomph för min smak.

Good value, solid and more enjoyable than most of E's bottles I have had to date
Fruit is dominant characteristic on nose, equally balanced with tannins on palate

Waxy blackberry fruit aromas. Licorice to the palate. Again, stays away from showing any green to the nose or the palate.

Did not live up to expectations, lacking either the refinement or power of similarly priced Chilean cabs

Cassis, black currant and cedar wood on the nose. Palate was juicy and straightforward. An acceptable table wine.
