Darkest red, almost black --- Nose fresh, wild boy, masculine, red berries, some bark, some herbal aspects, some smoke, elegant wood notes, tobacco, mushrooms --- Palate smooth, some sweetness, pralines, redcurrant, some cherries, some nutty aspects, underbrush, strong acidity coming through, hint of flowery notes --- Finishes pretty long on its fruity and tart character. Nice vine, masculine Cabernet Sauvignon interpretation, sweetness and fruitiness make it tasty. Authentic Chilean CS, not too much New World, shows class. QPR questionable.

Oh yes, this is great stuff. Showing class and enormous potential in its youth, tasty and captivating. Nothing overdone, the vine and its fruit in center of winemaking.
