Color: Deep ruby with purple shadows.

Nose: Very fresh and intense pure fruit. Aromas of ripe
blueberries and concentrated black fruit dominate on
an inviting, full and complex nose.

Mouth: Plum on the palate, with toasty oak supporting
firm acidity and integrated tannins. An elegant, well
balanced, wine with deep, rich fruit, fine polish and
a long finish.

Wine Spectator Offers gorgeous aromas of crushed plum and boysenberry fruit, with notes of sweet tobacco, mocha and vanilla. Delivers a plush, silky texture through the fruit-filled finish, with a fine, buried minerality. Carmenère, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2014. Score: 93. —James Molesworth, July 31, 2007.

Wine Enthusiast Attractive mint and spice aromas play with herbal black fruit on the firm bouquet, and after that there’s plenty of blackberry and plum to propel the palate. As always, this is a premier Chilean red blend that grafts pure power to elegance. It may not have the potency and density of fruit of the 2003, but it isn’t lacking. Score: 91. —Michael Schachner, September 01, 2007.
