Description
Deep and intense, with bags of Cabernet blue fruit character, this, along with Viña Seña, is proof of the potential in Chile for fine wine production. A touch of toast frames the rich, cassis and blueberry fruit on the palate, with ripe tannins adding structure. You could easily enjoy this now with ample decanting, but it would be best cellared for a few years. Drink 2019 to 2030.
