Heavily oaked and I wouldn’t call my self over-sensitive to the stuff. A better than decent wine but so many others at this price-point that would bring me more satisfaction.

1 person found it helpfulDec 26th, 2016This is a great value Merlot - first had this in Santiago circa 2002, and it is very consistent thru vintage. Deep & dark, distinct chocolate note along with plums, cassis, vanilla & sweet spices. Firm & plush, to decent finish. At 8 yrs this is very similar to profile @ release.

May 10th, 2021Tasted single blind - Dark to the core. Expresso, mocha, eucalyptus, and licorice. Plum fruits. Broad and imposing. Boisenberry leads a chalky tannin finish that coats the mouth
