Very nice peppery wine. Fewer dimensions than previous vintages of this wine , but no slouch. Maybe would have benefited from more air. These higher end bottlings from this winery are top notch on a global scale.

This wine is FANTASTIC!!! It is unmistakably not Rhone and certainly not Australian. It's not like getting a slap in the face by a Frenchman in a thing bikini on the beach of Nice nor socked in the stomach by a 300 lb Australian, this is lean and mean Chilean goodness. On the it's deans ripe black fruits and some fresh peppers. In the mouth it's bright red fruits and spring flowers. And the finish is oh so subtle.
Just a wonderful balance of high altitude farming and great wine making. I'd buy cases if this was in the $30 range.

The wine looks Purple colored. It smells like Chocolate, Blackberry, and Black currant (cassis). It tastes like Blackberry, and Chocolate. The body is Full. The wine has Silky texture. The wine finishes Long.

Wow, just wow. Great right from the pop. Can't imagine this getting any better with more age.

Muscular red with savory notes, tannic and super long finish!
