LET HER BREATHE! Give it a rest, or decant before serving. Aggressive peat-like nose gives way to all kinds of interesting tannins. Oak prominent though not tyrannical, smokey, dried fruits neither floral nor sweet.

I agree with theineffablebob. This wine needs a couple hours of exposure to O2. Really nice dark chocolate, cigar box, and stately oak. The wood is exquisite... Oh, to bathe in that barrel for a year or two, or even an hour... free of all my cares...i am

Spearmint nose, with a very nice mouth feel. Agree with others regarding breathing time. 2 hours was about right. Good tannins and long finish. Really nice wine for the price.

Lots of vanilla oak, dark chocolate, and dark dark fruit on the nose. The same on the pallet with some firm tannins. Fairly well-balanced but could use some more complexity. Tasty though.

Excellent, full-bodied Cabernet. Bit of spice, bit of oak. Nicely balanced. Drinkable. Recommended.

Its true, it needs to breathe, but not too long. An hour perhaps. Showing incredible drinakability in my opinion. Perhaps SLIGHTLY overoaked, but I really really dont mind when theres just so much balance between chocolate, blackcurrant, raspberry, vanilla, and a tiny bit of pepper, in a seductive, creamy, stately package. Well made. For an excellent representation of Chile- seek this wine out.
