Last bottle. Deep ruby. Still some residual dark fruits on the nose with coffee/chocolate and a hint of sweetness. Not so much fruit on the palate. Tar, earth present. Still drinking well enough and the development has been interesting. Probably needs drinking up over the next year or so, but not an issue for me!

Took a flyer on this inexpensive Chilean cab, and well, it drinks like one. Not that it's bad, just drinks like what it is, and nothing really more. Purplish ruby color with transparency. Smells like dark fruits, cherry, graphite, and earth. Medium body and finish, medium (-) acidity, and flavors of black cherry, plum, cassis, and a bit of mineral and spice. Forward and simple; it's aight.
Edit: just noticed, 95 pts. Decanter?!? You gotta be kidding me. 😂

I think that I was a little unfair on this six months ago, it has a black fruit nose and is medium bodied with a decent finish.

Excellent cab from Chile - I’ve never tried this area before for cabs. Well rounded and looking forward to buying again soon

Pleasant enough, rosehips on the nose, not bad but not great.
