Powerful, opaque, rich in color, high-head. Not a pinot in the traditional European way.
There are decomposable black berries with a certain jam and clear animalistic tone in the aroma. The flavour is a continuation of the aroma with low tannins and noticeable acidity.
Alcohol warms. There is a balance, but the attack is so strong from the beginning. Obviously the traditional Chilean reading of the variety.

Last bottle of this, no change in the notes from the last one, at least the wine is consistent, was a good stand by for a cheaper PN but the progress with the grape that cheaper bottles have usurped it, even from the same winery.

Deep purple colour, blackberries on the nose, some strawberry in the mouth with soft fruits, not much length, a bit jammy, when on offer good value but the organic bottle from the same winery is cheaper and better, well certainly in the latest vintages.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis) and raisin. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), oak and cinnamon. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

A lot of earthy Pinot style minerality, touch of raisin and violet. Velvety sweet grape/clove (cola?) characteristics, still light on the mid-palate. Another one sip wonder - better than a lot of Pinot's from what I am thinking is attributable to better than average concentration and terroir. I found the "strawberry and tobacco" notes on this one too! But overall, rather uneventful.

Took a while of letting this breathe in the glass for it to open up. Became nice and soft with cherry cola background.

Sleek and crowd pleasing. Enjoyable but effortful. I'm irritated by the heavy bottle.

Good but a bit expensive for what it was. Delivers a soft, smooth glass of redfruited cola but the finish died away rather quickly.

PnP let air for 1hr.
Touch of oak and cherry with some stem and cola notes on the nose.
Big chewy has some freshness big cherry spicy touch of cola. Needs time or a lot of air.
