100% Malbec grown at an altitude of 1600 meters in volcanic soil. This is not your average run of the mill South American Malbec. This Chilean wine is richly blueish red in color that streaks the glass with its viscous 14.5 ABV, medium plus body.

The nose is floral, herbal, and spicy. On the palate the pepper leads, accompanied by fresh red fruit, wood and nuts. The tannins are smooth and the finish is long.

This wine is stellar and it is not done improving, as the oak notes will develop into tertiary flavors. I have more that I will save and comment on later. Vive Chile!!!

Best cava I’ve tried. Really expressive and vinous red fruit, plus a sobre lías quality beautifully complementing the textbook minerality (which I find a little austere on its own). — 3 years ago

Nose is soupy but fresh and airy with lovely and very expressive red fruits and a metal character I always find in Nerello. Assuming this is Nerello which it smells like. Spice and flowers and very harmonious aromas. Palate is fresh and incisive with lovely sweet fruit and soft tannins. Lush and fresh with good acidity and texture. Perfect balance and very mouthfilling. Finish is very volcanic and terrifically juicy. Creamy as well as it airs out. Good structure. This is very good and could be outstanding with air. This gets very profound with air. Deep intoxicating aromas. Wow. 9.3 to 9.4 with air and maybe higher. So juicy and a serene density. What length. This is a stunner. — 3 years ago

Nose is very rocky with loads of flowers and fresh cherries and some cassis. Lovely wet earth as well. Echoes of Burgundy. Also that metal smell I get from Nerello and Etna wines. Fresh and energetic with an invigorating palate and not as much depth as the Chiuse Vidalba which is the high end cuvee but this is delicious and very well made. Nose has a floral-cassis thing that is so appealing. Nose now has hits of tar and forest floor. Really dig this. Super juicy and so pure. Excellent. Long as f. — 3 years ago
