點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2445

Brambly and baked on the nose, with crusty black fruit aromas and vanilla accents. The palate has a clacky feel and comes up lean in the middle, with herbal red berry and light, leafy flavors. Finishes dry, with a tobacco note.——M.S.(9/1/2011)—— 86

Solid from front to back. The nose is your normal mix of cassis, blackberry, latex glove and licorice nibs, while the palate runs hard and condensed, with ripe black fruit flavors. A little clacky and tough on the tongue and cheeks, but true as you can ask for from a Colchagua Cabernet. ——M.S.(12/1/2010)—— 89

Concentrated, but softening, with plum sauce, crushed currant, cocoa powder and coffee notes that glide through a fleshy, cedar-tinged finish. Drink now. 500 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–JM??Region: Chile / Central Valley-Chile / Rapel / Colchagua Valley Select to Add

Minty and dusty at first, with secondary floral aromas that make you take notice. The palate is juicy and jumpy, with sizable coconut and black raspberry flavors that indicate ripeness but also some heavy oak aging. Shows grip and a touch of fire on the medium-long finish. Only 250 cases produced.——M.S.(5/1/2008)—— 88
