bump for age, price & novelty: found this dusty bottle at bottom of shelf, recognized estate as old school Chilean, so for $20 could not pass it up: still really inky no bricking, initially shy & reductive, after 2 hrs started to strut w/gobs of dark fruit, licorice, herbs and spice. Varietally correct & showing youthful a decade on... med+ weight, balanced acidity, superb ripe fruit quality mingled with pepper & spice leading to impressive finish.
