100% PN. Doesn't really taste like PN. Earthy and pleasant enough, though.

There is something about Chilean PN that I truly appreciate. Their flavour layers over deliver on their price points Vs other new world PN versions 9/10 times.
They also tend to be more slanted towards Old World PN style characteristics (like this one). The front is short with subtle raspberry of NIBs, then violet, tannins & herbal warmth of white pepper in finish. Nose hint of Cigar box cedar & then cherry candy floss after standing 15 min.
For $13/btl at LCBO it’s quaffable bargain. Serve cooled @ 13C🍷
