I have had several vintages of this dark Chilean red and they have all been very good or better. This is another winner, and it remains a very good value.Completely saturated plasma color. Wonderful nose of blackberry and ripe cassis, along with smoky balsa wood and lemony minerals. Rich, mouthfilling flavors of blackberry syrup, graphite, and iodine-laced minerals. Very full-bodied and tannic, but soft enough to drink now. This wine will easily compete with California Cabernets costing three times as much, but this wine has less obtrusive oak and will go better with food. Acidity is a bit low, but it doesn't feel flabby or out of balance. B+. I got this for around $13 at Kroger's on Westpark/Buffalo Speedway.
