  2013 Vina Ochagavia, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gran Reserva, Maipo Valley: clear semi-opaque garnet with a narrow vague orange rim and ruby core. Medium green pepper and white pepper with lesser jammy fruit, black current and wood. On the palate, M- round Jammy fruit, boxwood leaves, wood with lesser wet leaves. Medium acidity, dry(a hint of sweetness), medium- ripe tannin, medium+ well integrate warming alcohol, medium body. Medium-, A hint of caramel, vanilla, toffee and lesser bay leaves in the medium+ finish. Good balance between the structure factors, especially for the alcohol, good pleasant oaky length(maybe American oak?), okay intensity, good complexity. A very good table wine. Well controlled alcohol, well developed and complex flavor profile, but weaker concentration, thus 87-88. Well developed for the vague orange edge, developed flavor profile, such as jammy, caramel, bayleaves and the ripe tannin. Can be enjoyed now or within 1-2 years. A good table wine and value for money.
