I drank this wine for over 6 days, initially it was too acidic and unbalanced. I first had this wine two years ago I think and thought it needed some more time. The longer it was open the better it got! Blackberry, mulberry dark fruits, little Smokey, tannin still holding up. Nice dry long finish. Love it. I have one more and am going to try it again in two or three years. — 3 years ago
This is a lovely Blanc de noir Champagne - it has some real red fruit character with raspberry and wild strawberry along with lemon, red apple, brioche and set stone. It opened up with air as well and gave even more of the red apple character. Persistent mousse and elegant finish — 2 years ago
Powerful. Concentrated. Black currant. Spicy. It is equivalent to grand cru. Match with beef. 2009 @1280, domaine -, 210918-210919 — 4 years ago
I don’t know what to think of this throughout the experience. It was funky with all kinds of damp wood and forest floor and exotic dark incense type characters very 1er Gevrey. In the mouth it was deep and rich but still with lift and verve fruit intact and a nice finish. By the bottom of the bottle the aromas were so heady, like concentrated brand new leather interior of a car still going down easy with a nice extract and fruit wrapped in complexity. Have never even heard of the producer. Excited to see the other couple bottles! I’m giving it an extra .1 because it’s 22 years old and holding nicely. — 5 years ago

Visited this property in 2017. It’s not that far outside of Santiago. Maybe a 40-45 minute drive from town.
94+ with appropriate aging.
A wine that deserves more attention in the US but doesn’t likely because it is Chilean. I’ve traveled to every wine region of relevance to know there are many world regions that produce high quality wines. This one a Rothschild property.
