Nicely balanced, smooth, dark fruit. This is an easy drinking wine that complimented lamb chops beautifully. I'll be looking for more. JimLockardOnWine.com

Balanced- minty + minor notes of Tabasco, rich and full, plummy chocolate finish. Seems hotter than 14%

Debut vintage of 100% Carmenere from Los Vascos! Probably most elegant Carm I've ever tasted! #smooth

Thoroughly enjoyed with a NY sirloin. Velvety tannins and just a bit of spice.

I love its aroma🎍, soil on earth authentic with peppercorn so green with dramatic windful of blackberry blackcurrant 🍇 and the vanilla oak so elegant

Early Xmas 🌹 dinner this Friday night 🌃
This is one of the greatest 🎍red I’ve tasted so far. It is a Carmenère. So peppery. Its layer and structure is amazing, the vanilla oak 🎄 is on the edges, so shines and along with its black berries, cassis on deck, underneath is some red cherry 🍒 dazzling, green peppercorn plays a dominant role here, then the black fruit on top, to the finishes, a long finishes 🌈

Disappointing because I was expecting better from the Rothschild collection. This single grape wine is smooth and offers a nice bouquet. Should have been exceptional but it’s not.
