Inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Long finish with soft tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Chile. Rich and extracted. Showing nice balance and mouthfeel.
Needs an hour to open up properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Wine Advocate 94 points. Wine Spectator 92 points.
Fruit forward and a good sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

Blackberry, Big League Chew, cured meat, smoke. Dark fruits on the palate with some meaty, spicy notes on the mid palate that reminds me of chorizo. Medium acidity and medium, dusty tannins. Good stuff. — a month ago

This one has fleshed out nicely over the last 2 years, showing better balance and integration of flavors. Acidity has become more mellow. Nose of lava/asphalt/petrol and grilled lemon. Very mineral, earthy, and austere on the palate as well. Lemony, smoky and salty finish. Almost like a shot of tequila…! 🌵 🍋 🧂
Singular and special. — a month ago
