bump for age, price & novelty: found this dusty bottle at bottom of shelf, recognized estate as old school Chilean, so for $20 could not pass it up: still really inky no bricking, initially shy & reductive, after 2 hrs started to strut w/gobs of dark fruit, licorice, herbs and spice. Varietally correct & showing youthful a decade on... med+ weight, balanced acidity, superb ripe fruit quality mingled with pepper & spice leading to impressive finish. — 13 days ago

2020. Broke up the Christmas Eve seafood tradition and braised a beef roast instead. This big, vanilla oaky garnacha paired great! — a month ago

This is great, and a good value at $50. Complex nose with everything from balsamic vinegar to charred meat. Full, viscous on palate. An interesting, well made wine, that easily accommodates the ABV of 16%. — 2 years ago

Red cherry, strawberry, plum, fresh herbs, balsamic, and hint of lavender fills an aromatic and deep nose. Soft juicy entry with flavors mimic the nose but lightly candied. Medium to full body that’s beautifully textured. Bright acidity and polished tannins.

This is in great contrast to Alto Moncayo, showing off PN-like elegance. Still packing a punch though. Need to find couple of bottles to cellar. — 5 years ago

A totally different rendition of Grenache than the Alto Moncayo.

Lovely fresh red fruits taking the lead over dark berry fruits. A vibrant palate gains a bit weight on the medium body over time, with vivid acidity. Smooth cinnamon filled lightly sweet tannins.

Should have tasted this before the Alto Moncayo. — 5 years ago
