From 75cl screwcap, P+P. An hour later, there is some very diluted blackcurrant scent, more blackcurrant leaf, and something very odd and fishy on the side (smoked mackerel?) If this is the much vaunted new Chilean restraint, then take me back to the big fruity entry-lebel Chilean reds of the 1990s. And if you’re browsing in Waitrose, spend the extra few quid and buy the Max Reserva instead. 82P
Better on day 3: false fishy notes have blown off, now attenuated blackcurrant, like a poor vintage of Ch. Cissac? 85-86P
