The second wine from this Chilean producer. Big but not colossal. Nicely balanced. Medium acidity. Bordeaux style. I liked but didn’t love this...a teaser.

NOSE: wet, dark, wormy dirt. Berries - both blackberry and raspberry, like a mix . Slate.

TASTE: quite good - smooth tannins with a little “grain” - nice acidity - lovely black raspberry. Great stuff. I got a killer deal on this. 93.

EDIT: another review noted cedar and that is right.

Outstanding Chilean blend. The carmenaire cab blend is wonderful. This wine will grow in time. Wish I had more.
