So, I had this wine several weeks ago at a tasting and found out where I could easily pick it up today; in fact, I turned someone else onto it. This wine is 50% Malbec, 20% each of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% each of Merlot and Petit Verdot. Because this is Chile, they majority would be Malbec, but this is a lovely wine.
The color is a great inky purple bordering on outright midnight, and the aroma lets you know that you're getting something good. The taste borders on a weak port, but that in itself is a treat. This wine needs to be decanted, or at least sit and breathe for awhile so that it can open up.
As far as flavor, you get dark berries with a slight undercurrent of spice. There is nothing more to say as this is fine in itself.
