Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Earthy nose of black fruits with light oak, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, black tea, peppercorn, bell pepper, mediterranean spices and dark chocolates.
Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, light cola, dark chocolates, peppercorn and black tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Chile is starting to drink beautifully now. Very complex and nicely balanced.
Needed 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly. Right out of the bottle, the nose was fruity and the palate was earthy. That flipped once it opened up. So interesting.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years, and has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
I've had a few vintages of this Chilean superstar, and so far my favorite was the 2015 vintage.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Carmenere, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels.
15% alcohol by volume.

Deep Ruby color with the faintest hint of garnet at the rim, lovely aromas and flashes of a still youthful, developing wine. Plush, velvety tannin balanced with firm acidity gives the wine a good foundation the classy flavors of cassis, blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, violet, Red plum and black plum, mint, vanilla, cedar and smoke. Beginning to show tertiary character with a dried cherry, dried tobacco leaf and dried violet. Elegant and still a decade of life ahead — 3 years ago

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Chile.
Showing red and black fruits with oak, coffee and light earth notes.
This 6 year old Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking very nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the 5 to 7 years.

I had the 2021 vintage a year ago, and it was drinking much better. The 2020 was not as good of a vintage as the 2021.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and better with food.
