Austere, well-structured, herbaceous garrique, very little fruit flavor — 10 months ago
100% Malbec grown at an altitude of 1600 meters in volcanic soil. This is not your average run of the mill South American Malbec. This Chilean wine is richly blueish red in color that streaks the glass with its viscous 14.5 ABV, medium plus body.
The nose is floral, herbal, and spicy. On the palate the pepper leads, accompanied by fresh red fruit, wood and nuts. The tannins are smooth and the finish is long.
This wine is stellar and it is not done improving, as the oak notes will develop into tertiary flavors. I have more that I will save and comment on later. Vive Chile!!!

I really enjoy it. Light and straight to the point as a sparkling. Feel like I could drink this at length. — 4 months ago
Eu gostei pq é bem seco. Não é exagerado, mas certamente um pouco acima dos cabernets que tem preço parecido. Geladinho ficou uma delícia. Não tem uma variação de sabor muito grande (sem aromas ou toques de frutas, por exemplo). É apenas um cabernet mais seco, mas um bom. — 2 years ago

Everything good meant by the song, “Tiny bubbles.” Hints of melon, lemon curd, and minerality waft out of a delicate effervescence. — a year ago
