What experts say about this wine

100

James Suckling

Deep nose, but really fresh at the same time. Currants, blackberries and chili-pepper chocolate with cedary and meaty undertones. This is really juicy, with a tight, tensely framed palate, underscored by lots of creamy, dusty tannins. A lengthy, refined and elegant expression of cabernet sauvignon, but a strong statement from Colchagua.

Wine Advocate

Elegant, showcasing up-front plumeria and fresh tarragon notes that complement the juicy, creamy textured raspberry and plum core. Shows subtle flint details and fans out around fresh acidity, ending with refined tannins and a swell of spiced chocolate and cordial. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Drink now through 2033.
