Richly textured, with layers of herbal tea, licorice, eucalyptus and spicebox intermingling with deep black fruit flavors. Incredible complexity for the price! The 15 months spent in French oak add toasty mocha and subtle spice elements, while the small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot blended with the 85% Cabernet Sauvignon give it just the right amount of lift and roundness. Very food-friendly - try pairing with herb-crusted lamb, hearty vegetarian dishes (especially with zucchini) or beef with goat cheese.

Rating for Chile: 88 (bad vintage)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>

very full bodied, went well with lamb,could also go with any red meat or spicy dish.

Bit dry, little chalky
