Notes | |||
"The color is intense, deep ruby-red with violet highlights. The nose, intense and potent revealing black fruit aromas with predominant notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, and black cherry. Spices such as black pepper gradually mingled with subtle aromas of cedarwood, vanilla, caramel, and toasted hazelnuts imparted by oak ageing. The Palate starts out lush and complex with good concentration accompanied by elegantly structured and wonderfully ripe tannins. Nicely balanced with a natural freshness that brings out a complex aromatic expression where wild blueberry and blackberry notes elegantly intertwine with Asian spices and a hint of toffee. The exceptionally persistent finish combines power and elegance, accounting for this wine's excellent ageing potential." —winemaker Wine Anthology Team Review-Mostly Cabernet with elements of Carmenere, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. This is one of my all-time favorite bottles from Chile! Full and robust, packed with flavor, plush texture and great length on the finish. Enjoy this beauty with a bone-in rib roast. Cheers! |

"A full-bodied, polished red with aromas of ripe blue and black fruit, chocolate, walnut and cedar. Slate, too. Firm, velvety tannins and a plush texture. So creamy and seamless with a steady tannin support. Layered and deep. Great length. Mostly cabernet sauvignon with some carmenere, petit verdot, cabernet franc and syrah." —James Suckling |
