Endless red fruit aromas, fresh but ripe, and spices that develop in each glass, providing an aromatic complexity that keeps the senses awake. A structured and elegant mouth, inherent to Cabernet Sauvignon, with velvety tannins, but firm in structure that provide a linear and long-lasting sensation with a pleasant half mouth, which makes it complex but friendly, while its ending invites to a new glass to continue enjoying this typical subtle and pleasant minerality own to Cabernet Franc. With a deep red color, almost purple, its shades and fresh acidity, very present, invite us to many more years of storage. Its 23 months in a new French barrel provide it with a unique brightness with dried fruits and a subtle mocha, making this pleasant complexity to become a friend who opens the soul and spirit to share a new bottle.

Stewy berry aromas are a touch soupy and herbal, with green notes and a hint of raisin. In the mouth, this is saturated, chewy and dense. Baked berry, black plum, cocoa and baking spice flavors finish steady but a touch flat. This is an excellent Chilean red by all standards, but one with limitations. Drink through 2025.
