Tasting Note

Intense aromas of ripe red fruits, with hints of smoke, dust, and a touch of chocolate in the background. On the palate, the wine is flavorful, with well-structured tannins, balanced, well-integrated with the wood, and a rich acidity. Firm fruit combines with notes of cedar and tobacco. The finish is persistent and delightful, showcasing significant gastronomic potential. It stands as a noteworthy contribution to the Merlots of this new era in Chile. By Pablo Ugarte.
