A nicely balanced wine that needs some time in a decanter and should continue to improve with cellaring. The Syrah adds some sweetness when comparing to straight cab but this is nicely integrated and not too sweet. Another great example of quality Chilean red blends at a good price point.

Very early in its drinking window, hasn’t really had the time to pull all the tannins and oak together in what is a wine made to age. Will be leaving the rest in the cellar for what should turn into an exceptional wine in 5 years.

If this was ever good, it isn’t now, medicinal and imbalanced.
