This has some age, so that hazelnut nose comes through (a classic marker for me)
A unique blend of Chilean varietals, dried figs, dried prunes, lots of dried fruits here, some iodine and a hint of lead.
Subtle acids, well rested tannin.
love to find these Chilean gems.

funk on the nose, fun on the palate. first vintage was in barrels when the earthquake hit, made quite a mess, everything remaining was blended together to great success. can't find any information on this vintage, but it looks like they stuck with the just-mix-it-all-together program that nature forced on them the year before. all of the purchased fruit is organically grown and fair-trade. wonder if he knows louis-antoine luyt.

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Strong nose of blueberries, cherries, plums, earth, bitter herbs, Pine, toasted oak, vanilla, roses, smoke, eucalyptus, violets and white pepper.
Light to medium bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Tart on the attack, and dry on the palate, with plums, sour strawberries, raspberries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, earth, leather, green pepper, dark coffee, tobacco and peppercorn.
Medium finish with soft tannins and tart raspberries.
This Chilean blend is drinkable and simple. Not special, but not offensive either. An easy drinking red wine. Drinkable by itself and better with food.
Better after 60 minutes of airtime, but good right out of the bottle.
I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.
A blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Carignan, 8% Pais, 7% Carmenere, 7% Cinsault and 4% Merlot.
14% alcohol by volume.
