v19. Love it! One of those “ wishing you were there wines”! Toasty creme brûlée with salon hints nose. Fresh, creamy, pear and apple fruit. Bright, clean, round, slightly salty, mineral finish. Nicely balanced and a very nice food wine. — 2 years ago

2013, Already time to drink. Enough concentration. Comfortable herb flavor. It has elegancy. @1200, Medoc - Pane e vino, 200227 — 4 years ago
This is a blend of 85% Cabernet & 15% Syrah and grown at an elevation of 2100 feet with an average vine age of 25 years. 50-50% fermentation in oak and stainless steel. At a retail price point of $20, it’s quite good. The tannins are soft and round. It shows a lot of brighter red fruits of dark cherries, strawberries and some blackberries, touch of pepper, crushed rocks and dry top soil, dark red fresh florals, good acidity and nice finish. Producer history and notes...In the early 1990’s, Bruno Prats (Chateau Cos The) and Paul Pontallier (Chateau Margaux) discovered the high caliber of Cabernet Sauvignon being made from Chile’s Alto Maipo region. They partnered Felipe de Solminihac, a renowned Chilean agronomist, oenologist and winemaker in the region. They purchased 45 acres in the 'Quebrada de Macul', considered the heart of the Maipo Valley vineyards and Viña Aquitania was born. In January 2003, Ghislain de Montgolfier (CEO of Bollinger Champagne), became the fourth partner. Good list of French pedigree involved in Aquitania. — 6 years ago
The first wine of peru using a native grape, The two main taste profiles- Acidic & Earthy. Not a common combo but one I believe works for my taste. We also ate with excellent peruvian food. would also pair well with seafood ceviche, — a year ago
With transparency. Chocolate like, but spicy. Matured or liquor like. 8.75. But next day, alcohol flavor was gone and turned to deep concentrated. Aroma is calm. 2014 @800, Medoc - XH, 200227-200302 — 4 years ago
Sadly this is the last vintage of Quebrada Seca for De Martino as the vineyard will be rented to someone else. Again, this wine over-deliveries. A beauty showing enormous complexity: ripe melons, sea spray, chalk, wood (not oak), lees. Creaminess balanced by a lingering finish led by acid and saltness. — 7 years ago
