Opened at lunch, the nose was quite fragrant but the mid palate was flat - nothing to write home about was my initial reaction but later in the day - Wow! The nose exploded with peppermint and the mouth-feel rounded out nicely. It is bone dry with dark fruit and an earthy aftertaste. A very interesting Chilean wine for sure! Decant 2-3 hours before serving
Straightforward, well balanced Cab. Great black fruit intensity and a touch of currant. Very little 'green' characters and soft tannins. Lengthy. Apr 2011.
