Concha y Toro

Reserva Casillero del Diablo Carménère 2021

Good right out the bottle and stayed that way for a couple of days. What a nice grape! Very underrated. Medium body with a bit of spice. Sweet with a balanced tannin. Day 2 showed more acidity which improved it further. Excellent vino. — a month ago

Cono Sur

Bicicleta Viognier 2021

This Viognier white wine has a bright aroma with apricot, peach and orange, together with a fresh stone fruit palate.

Good to serve it with white meats, seafood salad, maybe even for chilli dishes.

Viñedos Errázuriz Ovalle

Panilonco Reserve Merlot Malbec 2022

This wine has a medium-dark ruby color. The first thing I notice is the oak. It seems very oaky, despite only six months in wood. The nose offers a smokey note, which I always like to find. There are aromas of ripe cherries, berries and plums. Those fruits also appear on the palate, where oak again dominates. The tannins are firm, but not overpowering. The mouthfeel is rich and full. I had mine with a brisket sandwich and it paired very well. — 5 months ago

@DD Agreed! This took a week to settle in, I thought I was opening it young even after a 6h decant, and I was right. I'm not opening another until at least 2034-39. For real...

Clos Apalta

Valle de Apalta Red Blend 2017

Intense and deep ruby , garnet tinged rim . Quite intensely fruited , cassis , spiced blackberry , blueberry . On the palate lots of cassis and blackcurrant character , blueberry notes , roasted pepper and touch of wood spice . High tannin , lots of grip , with just balanced acidity and alcohol . Quite dense and serious on the finish . Needs a bit more time to fully integrate but promising . Better in 5 years and will last well a further 5-10 — 2 months ago

Casas del Bosque

Reserva Rapel Valley Carménère

I really enjoy a nice Carmenere having been introduced to this varietal on business trips to Chile. Typically a great complement to grilled meats, this somewhat young Carmenere (2020 vintage) did not disappoint! Ripe berries but with just a touch of a oeppery finish is a nice pairing with the flank steak, grilled Serranos, roasted sweet potatoes and chimichurri sauce we had for dinner. Not sure how much variety there is between vintages but the 2020 seems like a good one! — 3 months ago
