  Was not expecting much, has been sitting in the cellar for quaffing. Still fresh having acidity & mild tannins. Dark fruits & liquorice, with a long finish, pleasantly suprised., still has a few years left.

  Cor bastante escura, com núcleo enegrecido e borda rubi/roxa. Ao nariz, é intenso e frutado, com notas de ameixas, cerejas em compota, um caramelado da madeira e discreto toque tostado.. Na boca é encorpado, repete o nariz com um sabor frutado intenso, mas não exagerado, e adequadamente contrabalançado com uma acidez muito correta, os taninos são macios e os 14,5% de álcool estão bem inseridos.. Um moderno e muito bom Merlot chileno! Já pronto!

  - Ruby color - It has a bit strong taste of Merlot. Good overall with balanced tannins and smooth lasting after taste.

  An attractive, semi-translucent garnet in color, offering subtle aromas of crushed berries, earth and spice. Medium-bodied and quite fruity. There's plenty of juicy plum and dark currant fruit here. Hints of vanilla and oak - along with a nice, chalky minerality gradually emerge on the medium finish. Not a lot of depth or complexity to this, but it's bright, fruity and enjoyable.
  50+5+11+14+6= 86
