Pretty decent cab for the price. Definitely decant or let it sit out for a few hours. Has quite the initial burn but mellows out after a bit. Is better with food.

This was just ok. After having the Cab we had high hopes for this one but it just didn't deliver.

I had the 2011 at a restaurant in Cancun about 7 months ago and rated it 8.6. This one much better with vanilla, fully ripe dark fruit, a balanced structure and moderate finish. Pre-phylloxera root stock at a reasonable price. Enjoyable!

Definitely getting some of that herbal, vaguely minty nose to accompany dark and red fruits. Some tobacco. Highly enjoyable expression of the grape.

Firm structure and prominent lift. Fruit profile is a little dried out. Tight and a little narrow on the palate. May progress with time.

Very good Cab from Chile. Smooth, well balanced. Very good value, too. Holds up nicely the next day as well.

Fruity but with a hint of...spice? Very light and crisp.
