Antiguas Reservas Maipo Valley Merlot
I loooove Merlot! What I like about this one is its character, quite pure. Dull ruby of medium density. Fresh, funky aromas of venison, V8 juice and raspberries. Medium to full body, with staircase-like performance. Enters elegant and grows in your palate until it explodes with brilliant, lingering finish. Firm grip of tannis, delicious acidity, but beside structure, awesome roundness and flesh. More than harmony, I see an interesting scholar of a wine. Quite food worthy. Dark cherries and dark plum for days. Quite peppery at the end. 89 pts.

Jul 23rd, 2018Ruby color. Good legs. Oak and Cinnamon if you taste before swirling. Much more fruit forward after you swirl. Lover aftertaste and good smokiness. Good tannins could work for red meat but would be better with classic Italian pastas, pasta with mushroom sauce, or turkey/chicken dishes. Enjoyed very much.

Jan 5th, 2018Es bien característico. Sabor muy fuerte y que aumenta con la oxigenación. Es muy agradable de tomar, es más espeso de lo que parece.
