ABV: 14.0%. I've never had a Chilean Pinot Noir with this kind of bottle age (approximately 13-years-old) and I was very impressed. The nose was somewhat muted upon opening, but slowly opened up after about 45 minutes. What caught me off guard was how lively this wine was on the palate. Despite the lack of bouquet, this wine is a party in the mouth with herbs, spices, red fruits, and good acidity to keep everything lively. In addition to the impressive mid-palate, the very legnthy finish took this wine to another level, leaving an exremely pleasant mouthfeel that entices you to take another sip. I think this wine could actually use a few more years to iron itself out so feel free to decant it for a little while before serving.

Silky, earthy, black cherry, supple cranberry, and lovely acidity with a long finish touched by spice which mingles with the acidity to make this an awesome wine at any age.

Apparence rouge fraise écrasée, assez dense, légèrement voilé. Nez ouvert, framboise et pâte grillée, épices. En bouche, les notes fruités rivalisent avec les notes d'élevage de pain grillé. Les tanins sont discrets et intégrés, le vin se boit aisément, malgré un taux relativement élevé d,alcool. Excellent rapport Q-P
