1 person found it helpfulSep 16th, 2017Opaque purple color with alluring red and black berry, violet, tobacco, graphite, crushed gravel and dried herb aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, harmonious, persistent and fresh with vibrant acidity and dusty well integrated tannins. It shows enticing cassis, black cherry, blackberry, vanilla and extra dark chocolate with espresso bean flavors. Long finish with a pleasing bit of minerality. Approachable now with a decant, but will reward cellaring for 5-10 years. 2013 Vintage

Fun to compare this famed Chilean cab, also from 13’ in magnum, to the Merryvale cabs.
A bit more savory and herbal, with hint of green bell pepper that’s signature of Chilean cab. Ripe dark fruits intertwined with tart fresh cherry fruits made for a supple yet vibrant palate. Quite elegant.
I was not very impressed with couple of the older vintages I tasted. But this is great!

Time for some (w)rapping- gimme a beat!!! This was worth the wait. Dark rusty, murky heavy red. Licorice, pepper on nose. Mid-high tannins with medium body. Why is this the last bottle?
