  An amaizing aged Chilean Cab, classic peppery and herbaceous notes on the palate which makes this wine so special is its terroir expression. Tannins completly integraged with full body and linguering finish. Still holding pretty good with more years still left. A very good expression of Chilean Cabernets. No sediment with a 1 hr. decanting.

  Surprisingly youthful, still some tannins to brag about. Did not find the wine to be very interesting at this stage of development. Probably needs another 5 years in the bottle. I'd say it has the potential to age into something quite agreeable. At the moment I'd say it's a bit rugged and confused. It did open up some with time. I rated it 90 for potential, 85 if we're talking about todays drinkability.

  I too was worried about the age of the bottle, but it was still in its prime. Decanted (surprisingly very little sediment) for a short period and poured (couldn't wait any longer). A big, complex and very enjoyable wine with great mouthfeel.

  I last had this wine in 2015. I was concerned that it might be past it’s prime in 2019.
  I was pleasantly surprised by the youthful nature of this wine. Had I tasted it blind I would have guessed 2010 or 2012.
  I don’t think that this is past its prime in any way. In fact this is frankly youthful at this point. In that this has at least 10 years at peak.

  - Crimsom color with slow forming legs and aromas of blackberry and black currant and has flavours of smokey with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a medium finish.
