More elegance & beauty than the Estate.

Photos of; Estate vines, landscape around the property and old wicker baskets used long ago to move fruit into the Viña.

🔥 still pretty inky w/slightest of bricking, total CF nose with all manner of red fruit, distinct gnarly herbaceousness but also spicy & wild with some cassis & mineral to round out a truly beautiful complex nose & mid palate. med bodied, integrated tannins & acidity, long smooth finish. at $20 a total steal!

Sep 3rd, 2026bump 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.
